Produktbeschreibungen

Stereoplay
Seit langem angekündigt und von Kennern ungeduldig erwartet, ist jetzt Phoebe Snows phänomenales Debütalbum von 1974 auf CD erhältlich. Der Tontechniker Steve Hoffman, der schon für klanglich superbe CD-Sampler von Buddy Holly, The Mamas & The Papas und Donovan verantwortlich zeichnete, hat diesen Klassiker vom Originalband in makelloser Qualität digital aufbereitet. Geringfügig rauschärmer und deutlich baßbetonter als auf der "Best Of Phoebe Snow"-CD (stereoplay 4/87) erklingen hier "Harpo's Blues" und Miss Snows einziger Hit "Poetry Man" sowie die sieben restlichen Kompositionen der Original-LP. Als CD-Bonus gibt es die Singlerückseite "Easy Street".

Review by Alex Henderson
It's been said many times that being difficult to categorize or pigeonhole can be the kiss of death commercially, and no one bears that out more than Phoebe Snow — a pearl of a singer who never caught on because she simply didn't fit neatly into any one category. Known primarily for her haunting single "Poetry Man," this self-titled classic (which was recorded in 1973 and released on LP in 1974) found the earthy vocalist drawing on everything from folk and pop to soul, jazz, and blues. If anyone has bridged the gap between Joni Mitchell and Aretha Franklin, it's Snow, who is as confident on the soul-influenced "Good Times" as she is on the introspective jazz offering "Harpo's Blues." In fact, many of the players backing Snow are jazzmen, including cool jazz great Zoot Sims (tenor sax) and piano legend Teddy Wilson. With as many risks as she takes, the album is generally quite accessible.
