"A heartfelt homage in its entirety, Songs from the River Wind is, in fact, one of the most evocative offerings imaginable. It is, to sum up, a most exquisite collection".

"Folkie Eliza Gilkyson's Songs From the River Wind offers a balm to the human heart during this current plague season of disease and political strife".

"As you'd expect, it's a very old-school folk-country album ... A pastoral ode to simpler times, a life shaped by the love of the land, it's a truly wonderful evocation of the foundations of her heart and hearth, perhaps best listened to at twilight and letting it carry you away to the rivers and hills it so beautifully celebrates".

"Singer-songwriter and activist Eliza Gilkyson follows up her politically charged 2020 release titled, poignantly enough, 2020, with a collection of songs that turn the other cheek in a decidedly different direction. Gilkyson has referred to Songs from the River Wind as a "love letter to the Old West", which perfectly describes these 13 heartfelt odes to people, places and experiences from the artist's years as a travelling musician ... Whether interpreting a classic folk song, such as "Buffalo Gals", or performing one of her originals, like "Taosena Lullaby"', Gilkyson breathes sparkling insight and sincerity into every performance".
