Woke Up Laughing

Woke Up Laughing is a 1998 album of remixes, re-recordings and otherwise creative approaches to Robert Palmer's music recorded over the years that reflected his love of world music. Subtitled Adventures in Tropical Music: 1977-1997, he produced the new versions himself. Suggested to Palmer by Gerald Seligman, the Executive Producer and creator of EMI Hemisphere, Palmer rejected the idea of a simple compilation, preferring a rethink and a fresh approach. It is: "A collection of songs inspired by a love of the world of music, 1977-1997, with many alternate versions appearing for the first time on disc." The cover photo was taken by his longtime drummer, Dony Wynn, after Robert's son, Jim, saw the photo and thought it perfect for the record and recommended the idea.[1]
