Streetnoise is a 1969 album by Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger and the Trinity, originally released as a double LP.
It includes cover versions of The Doors’ "Light My Fire", Nina Simone’s "Take Me To The Water", Laura Nyro’s "Save the Country", Miles Davis' "All Blues", Richie Havens' "Indian Rope Man", and "Let The Sunshine In" and "I Got Life" from the musical Hair. Driscoll covers this wide range of musical influences easily and with her highly emotive and distinctive vocals, and with Auger's intense Hammond organ, the album is instrumentally interesting, too.Jurek, Thom: Review of Streetnoise reviews at www.progarchives.com
