"Second Childhood" is the second album by singer–songwriter Phoebe Snow, released in 1976. The album Certified Gold by the RIAA on July 09, 1976 .
Phoebe's voice caresses the melodies, soars and swoops with ease and great accuracy over the astonishingly wide vocal range she possesses. The musicians accompanying her play with a sensitivity and empathy rarely heard in popular music, but that's hardly surprising when you consider that the players featured on the album read like a who's who of America's finest. Artists in their own right, they bring their expertise to the magic in this amazing work. Featured on the album is jazz legend Ron Carter (on bass), Ken Ascher (who co-wrote “The Rainbow Connection” with Paul Williams), highly prolific session drummer Steve Gadd, guitar legend Tony Levin (who has played with everybody from King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Paul Simon and John Lennon), percussionist Ralph MacDonald and saxophonist David Sanborn amongst a host of others.
Phoebe Snow wrote seven of the ten tracks. Interestingly, although there were three singles from this album not one of them charted anywhere in the world - not even on side charts such as jazz, adult contemporary or R&B.
