Phoebe Snow

The tracks are "Good Times" (Sam Cooke), "Harpo's Blues", "Poetry Man", "Either or Both", "San Francisco Bay Blues" (Jesse Fuller), "I Don't Want the Night to End", "Take Your Children Home", "It Must Be Sunday" and "No Show Tonight"; Snow wrote the rest. Players included Bob James on organ, Teddy Wilson on piano (only on "Harpo's Blues"), David Bromberg on dobro and guitar, Dave Mason, Zoot Sims on tenor sax, Steve Burgh, Chuck Domanico, Steve Mosley, Ralph MacDonald, Margaret Ross on harp and the Persuasions on backing vocals. Ed Caraeff took the photograph and Mick Haggerty did the cover artwork.

AllMusic's Alex Henderson gave it 4.5 stars, calling her a pearl of a singer who never caught on because she simply didn't fit neatly into any one category, and Christgau gave a B-plus, calling the folk-jazz fusion striking enough to suggest that her debut LP will become some sort of cult item. It reached 13 in Canada and 31 in New Zealand, and was reissued as a stereo SACD mastered by Kevin Gray, which Audiophile Audition praised for its upfront mix of her backing musicians.
