I love her last 2 albums best, but I love all of them anyway. Start with "Lost and Found"-- Patty Griffin does backup on "Heart Of A Man". "Riverside" is what I call a "Major Song". The kind I had to play a dozen times in a row the first time I heard it. "He'll Miss This Train" is another one. "Welcome Back'" good song. "Hard Times In Babylon" is the other Cd I suggest to start with. Title song is wonderful. "Beauty Way"- another Major Song. "Sanctuary" is another. All the songs are tops. She is great live too with a really unique sense of onstage humor and lots of stories to tell. Good guitarist. You could share the Gem Theater concert we weeded out last fall with Eliza's opening act with band support. We also weeded out her solo acoustic concert at Traditions Cafe. Eliza is awesome and should be getting a lot more notice than she does. I am happy to hear about a new Cd coming out! I think I heard a couple of the new songs at Kate Wolf Festival last summer and they were really good, of course. One was about the current war situation- a tear jerker about having mercy. "Tender Mercies " I think it may be called. Forward this post if you like- I love to spread around my fave singers and Eliza is right up there on top with Patty Griffin and Jackson Browne. I wish I had discovered her years ago but only got into her with that Patty Griffin Gem Theater concert- see - a benefit of these live concerts we share! Someone kindly shared it with me. Thanks be to Patty for having her open on tour with her so that I could make that discovery. I now have all her Cds and have seen her live 5 times since then.
