This album features Spencer's violin and guitar, Eugene Uman on piano and organ, Dan Haley on mandolin, a guest appearance of Chas Eller on the Hammond B-3 organ, and Scott Paulson on bass and percussion. It has a pop-folk-, bluegrassy feel; powerful, passionate, and serene. With an un-dying positive energy and posessing a sometimes 'un-layed back' approach it may possibly be one of Spencer's most balanced CD's in terms of different tempo's. It rides the line between the bluegrass flavors of Cheyenne Breakdown and the pop-rock chords of Lookin' Forward. Two titles, Gettin' Quiet and Gettin' Lost also reflect this approach with the former being a reflective, double tracked guitar pallete of wise resignation while the latter a bass driven, slide mandolin, bent fiddled melting pot of pure jammin' folk-rock. The album ends with Can't Stop the Rain from Falling; a classic Lewis ballad of piano, organ, strummed guitar with the piercing, emphatic voice of the violin.

Message from Spencer: The Healing Distance title was created while talking to a friend with the following explanation: It is the distance between the moment something happens, trauma, changes, etc and the time in which one can actually feel some form of healing taking place. It is not to be presumptuous to think these concoctions of musical thoughts and emotions will get one there; But I can attest to the fact that it got me there, and that's all I can know.
