The Indescribable Wow is the fifth studio album from American singer and songwriter Sam Phillips. It is her first album for Virgin Records and her first album she released after switching her style from Christian pop to secular Alternative rock and using the name Sam rather than Leslie. Its first single "Holding On to the Earth" peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in early 1989.

The Indescribable Wow was well received on its release. In Rolling Stone the reviewer said, "Phillips is a major talent, with great rewards to offer" while AllMusic states that the album's music is "timeless".

All songs by Sam Phillips, except "Holding On to the Earth" and "She Can't Tell Time" by Sam Phillips and T-Bone Burnett.
