"A really fantastic recording and performance. I'd say this outdoes the studio recording except for Another Brick in the Wall Part II, Comfortably Numb, and The Trial (all of which benefit from more polished studio work on the normal versions). Everything else just totally smokes the studio versio..."  [+]  Reply

"Little Love Affairs is Nanci Griffith's sixth album and her second on major label MCA.
