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

"Really can't believe I'm the only comment for this record. I guess thanks to Morrissey wearing that STOP KILLING ME T SHIRT I wouldn't have bought it , it's a indie classic and adored the catchy songs . Don't care what Rolling Stone or NME write about it this is a gem ," Reply

"There are some albums that may not be that great but for one reason or another find a place in a listeners heart. This is one of those albums for me. I was young, life was crappy and this provided a good escape to an 11 year old me." Reply
"One of my favourite albums. When I Grow Up, If Love Was A Train, Hello Hopeville & Making The Run To Gladewater just brilliant. Yee-ha!" Reply
"One of the essential conscious hip-hop albums. KRS-One's lyric's toe the line between corny and insightful, but they come across as honest and earnest due to his young age at the time and the circumstances surrounding the death of the other member of BDP, Scott La Rock.
