On his third voyage as&nbsp;Skyway&nbsp;Man, artist + producer James Wallace is still seeking answers beyond&nbsp;the&nbsp;stars and still coming back with more questions in&nbsp;the&nbsp;form&nbsp;of&nbsp;ten brilliant songs. On its surface, 'Flight&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Long&nbsp;Distance&nbsp;Healer' registers as another concept album replete with aliens and alternative philosophy, but this time around, Wallace coats&nbsp;the&nbsp;glass with a vital layer&nbsp;of&nbsp;self-reflection. Like a West Coast Dr. John—but more preoccupied with flying saucers than voodoo dolls—Skyway&nbsp;Man&nbsp;is in&nbsp;the&nbsp;business&nbsp;of&nbsp;opening new aural worlds, cracking open reality just enough to get&nbsp;the&nbsp;message through. 'Flight&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Long&nbsp;Distance&nbsp;Healer' sparkles and blinks, whispers and moans—hugely enjoyable music rendered in imaginative and gleaming style. There are hints&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;polyrhythmic cinematic sensibility from Wallace’s contributions to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Joe Pera television series, rhythms&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Stax-inspired Spacebomb house band, and ripples&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;current East Bay scene outside San Francisco. In a real showcase for&nbsp;the&nbsp;extended&nbsp;Skyway&nbsp;Man&nbsp;family, Wallace has coaxed personal and masterful performances from&nbsp;the&nbsp;likes&nbsp;of&nbsp;Erin Rae, Vetiver’s Andy Cabic, pedal steel wizard Spencer Cullum, Kelly McFarling, and more. Cooking up genres in such a way as to keep their nutrients intact; he packs prog, blues, glam rock, acid folk, swamp boogie, and future folk into a beautiful Martian bouillon.
