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 Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA wise, worldly and romantic voice Music fan | Norfolk, VA USA | 05/31/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) ""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 disc should appeal to fans of mid-career -- "Sweet Old World" era -- Williams). "Fall Into the Night" is a sexy come-on, a worthy bookend to her earlier "Unless You Want Me" from "Redemption Road." "Richmond Boy" is sly sketch of a lover who puts the seat down at night and "don't scare me when we fight." She closes with a simple meditiation, "Riverside," that's a modern hymn.The backing band balances twang, blues and even pop nicely with contributions from Gurf Morlix, Patty Griffin, Slaid Cleaves and Gilkyson's brother, Tony (formerly of X) and son, Cisco Ryder. This is one that only gets better with repeated listens." Found again Nanci | Tri-Cities, WA USA | 06/19/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Eliza'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." She can sing to me all night! SandyWells | Galveston, TX United States | 06/01/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Love Eliza, love her songs, love her singing, love her strumming. Go see her if you can, get her cd's if you can. She is unforgettable."
