5.0 out of 5 stars A CLASS ACT ALL THE WAY! ! !, June 4, 2000

Phoebe Snow means Talented and gifted. What a truely amazing woman, I wish I had half her talent, Id be rich and famous, but alas I can only dream!

Phoebe has a unique voice that is easily distinctive from the rest, the music is not harsh, allowing her voice to drift over you in all its lyrical beauty is wonderfully satisfying.

I love this album, I have three copies of it in case I lose one, I love it that much, to me she is on par with Stevie Wonder which is high praise indeed, since I love him absolutely! I wish she would recieve more recognition as she is an incredible artist, a singer songwriter a brilliant guitarist and pianist she is so obscenely talented it makes you ill! I am inadequately glad that she exsists, this world would be all the poorer without her. So she is yet another who I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, get a copy enjoy and be pleasantly blown away!

5.0 out of 5 stars Snow as a pop rock princess, November 1, 2001

This album seemed so long coming that I had begun to wonder if I had heard the last of Phoebe Snow. Since Snow is eclectic to say the least one never quite knows what to expect, but she is certainly right at home here. Pop is what its all about - latherings of catchy melodies and exuberant and slick playing and production from Ricky Fataar and others. Snow's vocal control is a always exemplary and she makes it all seem so easy - today's pop princesses could do worse than to take some lessons out of this classy demonstration of power pop Think Bonnie Raitt's Nick of Time and you'll be in the right territory but like Raitt, Snow's voice is very much her own and comparisons are odious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Her comback survival!, August 16, 2000

By

This review is from: Something Real (Audio CD)

Phoebe sang alot of comercials and deep jazz cuts like Thankful And Thoughtful in the 80's. She had a AC hit with Dave Mason titled Dreams I Dream. By the end of the 80's she had suffered a heart attack, hence the song Cardiac Arrest, and comeback to the pop/folk scene with this CD. It's a combination of her traditional thoughtful folk writing like the title track to the the spirited single If I Can Just Get Through The Night. She even went as far as recording an updated version of the Emotions disc classic, Best Of My Love, very effectively! Also listen to Mr.Wondering, We May Never Feel This Way Again and the jazzy Soothin'.
