I was really looking forward to this, and you did not disappoint. Her vocal agility was one of a kind. So was her musicality, as you rightly illustrate. Interestingly, on Apple Music UK, Second Childhood is available, but her debut isn't (?). I love the other record you mention, It Looks Like Snow (her third, if I'm not mistaken). Her cover of Don't Let me Down is a proper journey. I need to get her records on vinyl!

Your theory about Akers’s possible influence on Phoebe Snow is intriguing. It’s certainly possible. I’ll listen to more of Akers with your idea in mind. Phoebe Snow has long been a favorite, and I will definitely be listening to her on the turntable this weekend. Thanks for another great post, Robert!
