Phoebe Snow is the debut album by singer/songwriter Phoebe Snow, released in 1974 (see 1974 in music). It contains her Top 5 Billboard pop hit, "Poetry Man". The vocals, in the highly mannered style fashionable during the 1970s, are so tediously predictable as to be nearly unlistenable for anyone not trapped in that era.
