Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley is Robert Palmer's debut solo album, released in 1974. Palmer is backed by The Meters and Lowell George of Little Feat. Multiple reviewers have commented that Robert sings confidently on this album despite being backed by more accomplished–at the time–musicians such as Lowell George and Art Neville.^[1][2] Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley is funky, blue-eyed soul as opposed to the slicker pop music that Robert created in the 1980's. "Sneaking Sally Through The Alley" is also covered by the band Phish.
