LORD CAN YOU HEAR US?
The songs by the Skywalkers are a dreamy, psychedelic collection with beautiful harmony vocals – all original songs (with details for a change about which of the two contributed music and/or lyrics) – that are propelled by staccato organ chords and have a nice variety. Song titles are suitably offbeat for their musical style: “Song for Cat”, “Treat Her Like Velvet”, and “Skinny Minnie Mandrax”. And there is a religious-themed song just like last month, “Lord Can You Hear Us?”.

I found several songs on YouTube (all audio only) – might be the whole album piecemeal, I don’t know. One of the album’s highlights, “She’s Gone” can be heard at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=llqydnFIwLU . Another fine song, “Lord Can You Hear Us?” is available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ence6WKz4Zw ; and “Pretty Little Girl” is at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFAbAFDPrVE .
