Roses at the End of Time ReviewThis is a great CD release by the underrated talented traditional folk singer-songwriter Eliza Gilkyson, titled 'Roses At The End Of Time'. Eliza Gilkyson is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter & Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee. In this new CD (10 tracks) release, Eliza Gilkyson sings about life's struggles & triumphs producing great catchy acoustic ballads. The opening track "Blue Moon Night" : a great folk rock song with great guitar syncopation & vocals. Other great tracks include "Death In Arkansas" (a cover of her brother Tony Gilkyson featuring John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky. The track has countryish folk sound with great violin/banjo combination & great vocals), "Looking For A Place" (folk rock sound with sad lyrics on being homeless), "Belle Of The Ball" (a great 'mellow' ballad, great personal/emotional lyrics & great vocals) & "2153" (up-tempo track, great guitar chords/violin combination & great vocals). Okay track is "Slouching Towards Betlehem" : folk/rock/countryish sound. Solid tracks/gems/stand-outs include "Roses At The End Of Time" (wonderful guitar string pickups, beautiful vocals & a great melody. A great choice for a title track of this great CD!), "Vayan Al Norte" (beautiful vocals & harmony. Lyrics in both English & Spanish), "Midnight On Raton" (wonderful violin & great melody) & "Once I Had A Home" (a slow track, incredible vocals, inspirational/emotional lyrics & melody). On overall, this is a fantastic CD release by the underrated folk singer-songwriter Eliza Gilkyson, a highly recommended CD listening. A well deserved 5 star performance!Roses at the End of Time OverviewEliza Gilkyson delivers the album of her career with Roses at the End of Time. Once again pushing the boundaries of folk music, Eliza cleverly disguises her sly social commentaries within catchy acoustic ballads, edgy folk rockers and fresh electronic atmospheres that paint a vivid image of life's struggles and triumphs in a world that she feels is "poised on the edge of moral, economic and environmental bankruptcy."
The ten songs of Roses at the End of Time run the full spectrum of emotions and issues.Whether it's in socio-political anthems like the soulful, slithering "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" or moody ballads like "Blue Moon Night" and "Belle of the Ball," a collection of fragmented memories of her mother, Eliza intermingles the political with the personal, with stinging edge and heart-aching elegance.
Not straying too far from her folk roots, Eliza delivers a down-home banjo-driven Americana cover of her brother Tony Gilkyson's song "Death in Arkansas" which also features vocals by fellow Red House artists John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky.The driving rocker "Looking for a Place" and the reflective "Once I had a Home" proves she is a powerful songwriter whose rich, poetic lyrics reveal her as a songwriter at the height of her storytelling powers.
