Altijd weer aangenaam luistermateriaal, een nieuwe Eliza Gilkyson.

Songs From the River Wind is a distinct departure from Eliza Gilkyson‘s previous, politically charged album “2020”. The album was inspired by her father, the celebrated folksinger Tony Gilkyson and his 50s folk trio The Easy Riders, with the songs spanning four decades. The album title refers to the mountain range of the Rocky Mountains in western Wyoming, and the songs offer a series of snapshots of people and places encountered during her days wandering the West, searching for somewhere to call home.

Eliza is joined by fiddler Warren Hood, mandolinist Kym Warner and multi-instrumentalist Don Richmond is in the producer’s chair while his band, The Rifters, are on harmonies. As you’d expect, it’s a very old-school folk-country album, opening with her softly sung, gently strummed arrangement of the Irish traditional Wanderin’, recorded by her dad back in 1958 and with a lyric that, taking a female perspective, speaks to her own travelling troubadour restlessness.

A pastoral ode to simpler times, a life shaped by the love of the land, it’s a truly wonderful evocation of the foundations of her heart and hearth, perhaps best listened to at twilight and letting it carry you away to the rivers and hills it so beautifully celebrates.
