"Intimate, delicate voiced, and given to musical introspection...her honest voice and understated, life-affirming lyrics remain the core of her songs."
— People Magazine

Flowery-voiced singer-songwriter Eliza Gilkyson moved to New Mexico in her teens to pursue an alternative lifestyle and eventually raised a family, while continuing to perform, write and record. Over the years she developed a style shaped almost exclusively by personal experience, cutting numerous records, including 1987's Pilgrims, her most popular but least representative record. The 2000 release of Hard Times In Babylon, followed by 2002's Lost & Found and 2004's Land Of Milk & Honey (all on Redhouse Records), secured Gilkyson's place on the contemporary folk music scene with a strong collection of songs, lean production, and a vocal confidence only hinted at in her previous recordings. All the while, she's been building an audience in the Southwest unrivaled by most of her peers.
