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

    I have a few favorite song albums, one is Elvis Costello with Anne-Sofie Mutter. Another is Philip Glass's Songs for Liquid Days. And Laurie Anderson's Life on a String. Now I've added Little Noises to my list. WOW and wow again.

  • rock your body and soul music like you wouldn't believe

    "Little Noises" is BIG, BIG talent. Soulful, spanking arrangements by an awesomely talented line-up of musicians, all with strikingly beautiful voices, some haunting, reedy, rusty, bassy, crystalline...and with kick-ass music to back them up. And not to forget Marcia Pelletiere's lyrics--intricate, wise, playful, nuanced and, above all, soul-stirring--tying together all the eclectic voices and styles. I don't know the last time I felt so drawn in, and satisfied, by an album. Every song, EVERY single one, blew me away. If you don't recognize the names of the musicians but you love the likes of...Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell, Jane Siberry, Suzanne Vega, Elvis Costello, Joan Armatrading, Peter Gabriel, Janis Joplin...you will certainly love "Little Noises."
