Trestan, a former intern and current coworker of mine, let me borrow a book a few years called Are We Still Rolling? by Phill Brown, a longtime audio engineer from the U.K. In it, Brown chronicles his career working with various artists through the years, Robert Palmer being one of them. I was familiar with Robert Palmer from a couple of his big hits in the ’80s, but learned that his solo career actually began in the 1970s, debuting with an album called Sneakin’ Sally Through The Alley.
