Phoebe Snow - Phoebe Snow

Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio

"Reviewed last November as a 2x45 RPM LP set, this is so of its era that a digital version will sound cooler and less intimate than that vinyl statement. Do not, however, feel that you must 'go without' — play this over a worthy SACD-based system and you will still enjoy the full measure of an ear-opening debut from 1974. The late Snow was eclectic, literate and expressive, so it is only fitting that it was part of the first wave of the singer-songwriter phenomenon. Though less familar than Carole King, she'll appeal to her followers, as well as those who appreciate the more cerebral Joni Mitchell. The SACD offers a touch more detail, if at the expense of warmth." Sound Quality = 90% - Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News, August 2014

Phoebe Snow died at the age of 60, but her art will live forever. Her debut album, reproduced here as a fantastic 45 RPM double LP set, witnesses a masterful nine-track lineup. Most of the songs were written by a 23-year old Phoebe Snow, including her best-known smash hit "Poetry Man. Snow was renowned for her elastic contralto and jazz scat vocals; this album became as legendary as her career, which spanned decades.
