When will Phoebe release a new CD? I MISS her!, Mar 18 2002
Having been a Phoebe fan for years and years, I have been
getting my "Phoebe Fix" via her commercials on TV - but hey,
Phoebe's got fans out here that would love to have a new CD to look forward to! I just got "The Very Best Of...", and, yes, it surely IS the very best! Shakey Ground, Do Right Woman, Teach Me Tonight, Two Fisted Love - and the bonus: At Last - phew!
I've finally replaced the old 8 tracks and cassettes, and am ready for more! Does anyone know if she ever tours? Play clubs somewhere (besides the east coast)? We've got this great Blues and Jazz Society in Casper, Wyoming, that brings in high calibre acts - how about paying us a visit, Phoebe!?

The Best Singer/Songwriter You Never Heard of..., Oct 1 2003
I originally got into the music of Phoebe Snow thanks to singer, Linda Rondstadt. A few years ago I acquired a video tape featuring various Ronstadt peformances from over the years. One of the clips featured a 1978 "Saturday Night Live" appearance where Linda dueted ("The Married Men", "In His Kiss") with another singer named, Phoebe Snow. Well it was love from the first time I heard Snow's voice.It is an amazing instrument that is sensitive, velvety and mellow one moment and is muscular with rip roaring power the next.As an artist, Phoebe Snow seems to be able to tackle everything from folk ("Poetry Man") to pop ("Every Night") to gospel ("Good Times") to R&B and soul ("Shakey Ground", "At Last"). No wonder the recording industry could never catagorize her.She is both a talented songwriter and a musical interpreter. Originally I had the CD "The Best of Phoebe Snow", which I listened to all the time. But recently I've moved on to "The Very Best of Phoebe Snow". The main difference between these two 'best of' CDS? "Very Best" has six more cuts (some of them live performances) and remastered sound. Give a try to this CD and you to will become addicted to this amazing voice.

If you love Phoebe, you'll have to have it, Sep 20 2001
I agree with Mr. Markham in many respects, that this is only SOME of Phoebe Snow's best music. Everybody has their favorites. For instance, MY favorite Phoebe Snow album is "It Looks like (Phoebe) Snow." Indeed, It's probably one of my top 10 favorites of all time. I would disagree with Mr. Markham, however, in that I think Snow's voice is best shown off in her quieter, more melancholy songs. Nevertheless, this collection is a good overview, and a great place to start if you don't know her work. Listening to Snow's best work makes me happy to be alive. What else can you say?
