Grammy-nominated Eliza Gilkyson, a politically minded,
poetically gifted singer-songwriter, has become one of the most respected
musicians in roots, folk and Americana circles.
Beautiful World, her 2008 release is a radio-friendly
collection of songs, celebrating the beauty that shines amidst these dark days
of war and corruption.
Sadly, the American landscape has not changed in the
past eight years.
These eleven songs serve to document Gilkyson’s mettle as a
singer-songwriter extraordinaire, and with arrangements less folky than her
previous work, the album has more of an Americana or alt-country feel.
The lyrics
often lean towards political reflection, but a little less from one ideology
than another and a little more from the writer’s emotional reaction to the
state of the world.
