5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Debut Albums Ever is Back....Finally!, September 17, 2004

After many years of absence from music shelves, the debut album of the very talented Phoebe Snow returns. It is still the best body of work Ms. Snow has issued, for there is not a weak track in the collection. She shows remarkable range here: plaintive, bluesy, melancholy, gently swinging. Her talents as singer, communicator, and writer are all on full display in such songs as "Harpo's Blues," "It Must Be Sunday," and her best-known hit "Poetry Man." She handles classic R & B standards such as "Good Times" and "San Francisco Bay Blues" with equal aplomb. Her talents were clearly no secret from the beginning. Jazz legends Teddy Wilson and Zoot Sims are amongst the stellar musicians backing her on this set. I purchased this album when it first came out in 1974, and it quickly became one of my favorites. Hearing it again is like spending an evening with an old friend. It has great style, atmosphere, and above all, showcases the soul of a gifted artist....A must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Those good old classic 70's........., May 11, 2000

This collection of music will always hold a special place looking back during my teen-age years and when I listen to this cd and compare it to what passes as singers these days, it pretty sad. This music just came out of nowhere and became one of my favorites of the whole 70's next to Joni Mitchell (Court and Spark), Cat Stevens (Tea for the Tillerman), Bonnie Raitt (Give it Up,Taking my Time) Steely Dan (Katy Lied, The Royal Scam, Aja). Phoebe Snow has a voice that easily conveys the pain she carried and was able to write her feelings into songs that touched so many. Just listen to "Take your children home", "No show tonight", "Good times", "San Franscisco Bay Blues" and my favorite "I don't want the night to end" just to name some of this collections highlights. One incredible singer, who just didn't get to reach the audience she deserved. She had quite a few heartbreaks during her peak time in the 70's but always had that BIG VOICE that took you

to another place, try finding that these days?

It was 197? and I had been hearing Poetry Man on the Radio. The song touched me like all good music does --- profoundly. I didn't know who Phoebe Snow was, but I wanted to find out. Who is this women I thought, dashing off to the record store. I saw the the cover and it blew my mind!

Took the album home and I have been hooked every since. She knew my sadness and my woes, my pleasues and my joys. Knew me and was singing my life in song.

Twenty something years later I am still in awe when I hear this album. Everytime I hear it, it's like the first time...
