An ambitious transition into rock with a powerful vocal.
This album marks a period when she was moving away from her traditional folk and jazz-based style and into a more rock-influenced one, and it highlights her multifaceted expressiveness, with "Games" reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
This album features a rock-oriented approach, and Phoebe Snow's supple, powerful vocals bring out a new charm. "Games" reached #46 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it a signature track from her later career. The contributions of talented musicians like David Landau support a robust sound incorporating elements of blues rock and R&B, and her vocal range and presence are clearly evident on tracks like the title track "Rock Away" and the cover "Gasoline Alley." This powerful, dynamic album symbolizes a period of transition.
