5.0 out of 5 stars A lot to like (and think about) on this album., May 18 2004

By

Walter Heugatter "walter_huegatter" (College Station, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Land Of Milk And Honey (Audio CD)

Eliza Gilkyson rolls right off the top with "Hiway 9", a bona fide anti-Iraqi war protest song with a great melody and catchy lyrics. " Dark Side of Town" is another excellent song that brings some insight to some of the seedier sides of Texas. "The Ballad of Yvonne Johnson" is a poignant story about a life gone terribly wrong. You can almost feel the subject's pain in the voice of the singer."Wonderland" is an up tempo, pop-like tune similar to several which Mary Chapin Carpenter recorded to success on a number of occasions . The album closes out with the Woody Guthrie song "Peace Call". "Land of Milk and Honey" is a quality effort that fits right in with the times. This is a very notable effort by a fine singer/songwriter.

4.0 out of 5 stars An alternative perspective to Roy's, May 9 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Land Of Milk And Honey (Audio CD)

Insofar as these reviews might tilt you toward or against purchasing a CD, I'd like to offer another perspective to Roy's impressions above (and suggest that beauty must be in the ear of the beholder). To my ear, some of these works are among the many particularly good recent releases by singer/songwriters. Land of Milk & Honey, The Red Thread and Afterglow are my favorite releases of Ms. Gilkyson, Kaplansky and McLachlan. 2004 has been a fantastic year: Mindy Smith, Patty Griffin, Norah Jones, Lizza Connor... And try Tori Amos' post-911 recording -- really nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gem from a great artist, April 28 2004

By

Alexander Hamilton "Sandy" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Land Of Milk And Honey (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful CD, one that is very reflective of the times it was written in. Eliza has a truly beautiful voice. She explores tunings on her guitar that give her the room to use her voice in ways that are unique and very soulful. If you like her past works, you'll appreciate this effort. If you are new to her music, you are in for treat.
