About Little Noises:
"...so smart, so original... an amazing collection... downright brilliant stuff that crosses all boundaries... it's the kind of album where you WANT to go back and listen again and again -- you simply can't grasp it all the first time through. Very few albums make you want to do that -- but this one does!"
-- Christine Lavin

"Little Noises" is a big joy! A celebration of a poet's life that sings with many voices.
-- Suzzy Roche
