Reviews:
“In her genre-bending
CD debut Little Songs, Lesley Littlefield masterfully
paints wise and witty portraits for both tykes and sages
alike using her pallet of colorful lyrics, vocal quality
of a gentle breeze, and acoustic instrumentation including
folk guitar, sweet pennywhistle, haunting violin, and
juke-joint oud. Quirky caricatures unfold while this
sprite of a song-smith pays homage to 17th-century folk
ballads and at times even evokes the musical styles
of Patsy Cline and Joni Mitchell. Littlefield leaves
this fly on the wall buzzing “Bravo! Bravo!”

“Littlefield is an inventive storyteller
who distills her experiences down to their essence,
setting them amidst enchanting melodies and instrumentation.
When listening to her songs, one might think musical
theater, or folk, or “Wow, what is this?” It’s the songwriter
herself, and her very unique way of seeing the world.”
