"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".
