Streetnoise
''Streetnoise'' is a 1969 album by Julie Driscoll, 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''.
