Hit: 4 Stars
On 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 Gilkyson passed away in 1999. While "Easy Rider" is somewhat mournful, it is followed by the optimistic ode to new-found love in "Richmond Boy." The songs are all pitch-perfect in production, never too overdone to miss their emotional mark. The guests are kind of a Texas who's who, including Gurf Morlix, Patty Griffin and Slaid Cleaves (and you really need to hear Slaid's "Unsung"), who adds terrific harmonies to "He'll Miss This Train." "Train" is the only song not written by Eliza; instead, Tony composed it. It's good enough to make me wish maybe he should go solo more often ("Goodbye Guitar").
Overall, this is a really good and honest folk record, with strong roots feel. There is even a harbinger to Eliza's more political "Land of Milk and Honey" with the CD's closer, "Riverside." With the simple line of "bomb, rebuild and defend," she skewers the whole war mentality that lulls people to "watch the war on TV with God on our side." It's a perfect closer to a superb CD.
Lost and Found Poster
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 KastenFolk Music CDs
