Phoebe Snow is back on the road!
Phoebe Snow is one of my favorite female vocalists. Her voluptuous voice wraps around cool licks and quirky lyrics. Snow’s “Poetry Man” was recently re-recorded by Queen Latifah. Probably the only contemporary singer who could live up to Snow’s musicianship.
Snow has returned to singing after a hiatus of some years, choosing to care for her daughter Valerie, who was born with severe brain damage. Her voice is older, wiser, with a touch of sadness that wasn’t there in the ’70’s, but she still has that quality of taking you places you’ve never been, painting sound pictures in your mind…
Phoebe’s MySpace has “Poetry Man” and other juicy tidbits.

Phoebe Snow is one of the great vocal talents in pop music. I have listened to her throughout her career, from the very first album containing Poetry Man, through It Looks Like Snow, Against the Grain, Rock Away, etc. I’m definitely going to see her show at Mohegan Sun, as that’s the closest to Boston. I have to say I was a little disappointed in her most recent CD, Natural Wonder….although she’s in good voice, as always, for the most part the mix just isn’t right on the record, and the production isn’t well suited to her voice. I also think she’s a wonderful songwriter, but on Natural Wonder, her writing isn’t at its sharpest, and her choice of covers seems off. That being said, I’m THRILLED that Phoebe is back on the road, and I can’t wait to once again experience her amazing talent in person!
