Engaging lyrics...
He put down the bottle October ‘89
Eased up on the throttle bought him a little time ....

Not fan of brass in a folk song. I have most of her work and if it was my choice i wouldnt be promoting this particular track.

Thought this was Jill Barber at first - I heard she had a new CD out.

In addition to Deep Ellum (in Dallas) she mentions Onion Creek, which runs through far-south Austin. Used to have some juke joints hidden away down there. Starting to gentrify a little now though.

Maybe Dobie Gray? Best known for his 1973 smash "Drift Away," I really like Eliza, there is something about her voice (as you said, "husky, sexy and clearproud.") and style that atracts me to her music. |

Always appreciate an opinion, positive or negative, that comes from life experience and the considered analysis of the subject. |

Blue highways, reference to William Least-Heat Moon's book of the same name. Small, little used highways were once printed in blue ink on US maps. A wonderful travelogue. laprincessa, Deep Ellum, indeed. Wasn't always a hipster entertainment district, as you well know.

This was great, and I love the funky brass. From a reader below, it looks like she's playing with the amazingly talented Nina Gerber who we frequently saw in parts of Northern CA over the years...I hope that they both return soon

To update: She played the same venue, Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, last night and was exceptional. This song was performed, as well as most of her best. Eliza Gilkyson is a superb song writer who seems to attract old farts to her shows. What's wrong with the the younger folks today (hack, cough, wheeze) that such brilliance is overlooked? Anyway, very entertaining and she plays these days with Nina Gerber, a guitarist of remarkable subtlety as well as power and technique.

Lovely, how they, so effortlessly sounding and relaxed, present this song. The brass makes it extra special and melancholy in a nice way.

...too much conspicuous name-dropping for my tastes, like she's going out of her way to shout out to the bar crowds...maybe the song hails from an era before everywhere mentioned overdeveloped into cliche party stops?..
