Tony Gilkyson's dad Terry wrote "Greenfields" for the Brothers Four. Tony was guitarist for X. His sister Eliza has recorded some excellent CDs. His 2nd solo set is strong with a variety of flavors. While there are some excellent tracks here like Celeste Moreno's "Juanita" and his father's "Man About Town," three tracks are my very favorites. The CD concludes with an excellent track by Carson Parks "Donut & a Dream" that is a country-flavored track with Van Dyke Parks on piano and Josh George on pedal steel guitar, "One cup of coffee, waitress, ain't quite enough." The opener "Mojave High" is a delightful acoustic rocker "Out in the desert where the lonely go, follow 95 along the Colorado to my home; I love these hills with no lights, but I know what's it's like to be alone." "Since the Well Ran Dry" has a strong melody that sets your toe to tapping, "I sleep in tents, blanket in the dunes, a rock for a pillow underneath the moon; I dig for water with the nails of my thumb, I pray for rain but the rain don't come." Gilkyson's "Goodbye Guitar" is a good set that bounces from folk to rock to country and lands on its feet. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another "Sparko", May 3, 2008

Just like his debut solo, Tony releases a gem of what could best be described as "Americana" music. He throws in rock, folk, blues, country in a stew and comes out with a tasty dish of heartland music. What stands out though is that he's an excellent songwriter and whether it's his own material, or covers, it's about the story. If you get a chance, pick up his other disc "Sparko" too. This one is 4 1/2 stars.
