This is his debut recording, and his most experimental. Originally issued on the PDU label, an Italian label based in Switzerland that, in the 1970s, imported the sound of the German Die Kosmischen Kuriere label for the Italian market. I never thought I'd see this one reissued on CD, but it was - with bonus tracks! |

| Robert Palmer The Silver Gun Pride Island Records 1983 Impressed by Indian classical vocalist Dilshad Khan, Robert Palmer learned to sing this Urdu song phonetically. "They say a man's best friend is his horse. But I say it is his gun. For what can a horseman do without a gun? I sold my silver barrelled gun And bought a brocade gown for my beloved. But she could not accept it. She returned it. Now I have no gun and no love. No, but with wet lashes and a charming smile, I could tell her heartache was more terrible than mine. I could stand the heartache If I could see you again. Until then, I am alone, city to city, Walking the streets With a heavy heart." 🥀 Sounds like a "ghazal" to me. |
