Woke Up Laughing is a 1998 album of remixes, rerecordings, and otherwise creative approaches to Robert Palmer's discography that's "inspired by a love of the world of music, 1977–1997, with many alternate versions appearing for the first time on disc," according to the CD's back cover. Gerald Seligman, the founder of EMI Hemisphere, suggested the initial idea for Woke Up Laughing, but Palmer wasn't interested in a simple compilation, preferring instead a rethink and a fresh approach. The cover photo was taken by Palmer's longtime drummer, Dony Wynn; when Palmer's son, Jim, saw it, he thought it was perfect for the album and recommended it be used.[2]
