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

Thirsty Ear welcomes back an old friend: flowery-voiced singer-songwriter Eliza Gilkyson and her band. Easily one of Santa Fe's favorite singer-songwriters, Gilkyson has developed a style shaped almost exclusively by personal experience, cutting numerous records over the years for a variety of labels. 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 Americana 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.
