Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A sweetly sensual yet singed-at-the-edges voice may be Gilkyson's most striking charm, but her songs have always sealed the deal. In her 15th year of recording, the Austinite's songwriting is in full, romantic flower, capturing desire's "dark treasure of senses," a prayer for a restless father "born by the light of a double-faced moon," and strange but resonant images of "all that's left untouched, undefiled, and unknown." Gilkyson's vision has more weight than her angel obsession suggests, and her enlisting of impeccable Austin musicians like Rich Brotherton, Slaid Cleaves, Gurf Morlix, and Lloyd Maines only deepens the musical mysteries. Drawing on gospel, blues, and folk rock, Lost and Found finds a singular, indelible, and consistent spiritual mood. --Roy Kasten Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Coming back to the lightOn the follow-up to her wonderful "Hard Times in Babylon" Eliza Gilkyson expands with optimism on this somewhat more upbeat CD. There seems to be a more family vibe involved with "Lost and Found," down to son Cisco and brother Tony Gilkyson playing on several of the songs. The most touching of them is Eliza's tribute to her father in "Easy Rider." Her father, Terry Gilkyson, had a number of hits in the 50's and 60's with his group, The Easy Riders, and had written songs for singers as diverse as Dean Martin, Burl Ives and Walt Disney movies. "The Jubilee Four and the Greenwood crew, the Wellington Boys from 'Hullabaloo,' Everybody wanted to love you but they couldn't get through Easy Rider." Terry ... Read More: Rating: - The lady just gets better!Eliza Gilkyson seems destined to be one of those artistes whose every step seems to date have been dogged by bad luck (her early CDs all being associated with labels gone out of business shortly afterwards) but reflects that out of adversity, there often springs tenacity and (as evidenced on this CD) latent genius. Think of Dory Previn from the 1970s updated to the 21st century by a lady who knows a good chorus hook and guitar tuning for delivery of a repertoire of songs that demonstrate that here is one of the leading ladies currently performing able to burst a few bubbles (especially male egos) and reflect that landscape of accumulated life experiences and letdowns that is middle age but able to remain optimistic as it progresses. ...

Rating: - Found againEliza's earlier hit "Pilgrim" was a spiritual search for identity, although to me it was just some damn good writing and an electric, one of a kind voice. "Hard Times in Babylon" had a rough edge, confusion, and an angst not commonly found in popular music ... music with soul AND intelligence. Her latest "Lost and Found" combines all of these in a satisfying blend of good music, great writing, and again that wonderful gravel freeway voice. I love that voice. I love these songs, and I love her mind and her poetry. This is a great album, another in a series of great work. Rating: - A wise, worldly and romantic voice"Lost and Found" is the flip side to Gilkyson's last, the dark, down "Hard Times in Babylon." That disc found her in the middle of a midlife breakup. This one finds her in love again with a Richmond Boy and reflective about what she's lost (her father, a lifelong songwriter paid tribute to with "Easy Rider"). Her voice, not as pretty as on earlier recordings, is perhaps more effective, becoming the disc's mesmerizing center. She brings a wordly knowing with just enough ache to the sad songs and a sly sexiness to the romantic ballads. But that doesn't mean the melodies are tossed off. "Welcome Back," which sets the tone, deserves play on Adult Alternative radio alongside Bonnie, Patty Griffin and Lucinda Williams (in fact, the ... Read More: |
