James Wallace–singer, songwriter and producer behind Skyway Man–presents “The World Only Ends When You Die”, a spinning disc flashing the finest examples of cosmological country and sci-fi gospel blues.
“The World Only Ends When You Die was conceived as a tragédie lyrique – a cinematic psych-folk opera about a person rendered incapable of coping with an uncertain reality following a near death experience. Under a spell of mixed wisdom by several “trickster guides” hailing from the future, they leap back into the world of the dead only to spend a hero’s journey climbing out, finally returning to the strange American existence of 2020.
“Muddy Water” is the first single out of the album, due for release on October 23rd via Mama Bird Records.
