The nocturne diaries

"Much of the album's charms, and there are many, can be found in Gilkyson's delivery. She turns the poet William Stafford's lines (set to music by John Gorka) about a field where no battle ever happened ("Where No Monument Stands") into a lyrical folk song. She makes the words sound old-fashioned and familiar by singing them without ornamentation. After all, Gilkyson celebrates a place where there have been no acts of heroism. It's a place where the grass grows thickly and the sky shines above. The performance reiterates the message".

"Whether she looks into darkness or light, Eliza Gilkyson's vision is impressive, and she's given us another remarkable glimpse at her gifts as a vocalist and songwriter on The Nocturne Diaries".
