Review:
Brilliant stuff
Just to add my voice to the chorus of praise this excellent album has received. Eliza Gilkyson writes terrific and often quite remarkable songs and has a fine, slightly husky voice to sing them with. They vary here from the hard-driving Man Of God (a merciless attack on George W. Bush) through the more conventional but beautiful Calm Before The Storm to the extraordinary and haunting Jedediah 1777 (a setting of letters from a soldier in the War of Independence). Every track is very fine and Gilkyson and her band perform them superbly.
I have only relatively recently discovered Eliza Gilkyson's work and am now wondering where this woman has been all my life. This is a really first-rate album and is very warmly recommended.
