A half-century after its brisk, strange birth, Alexander "Skip" Spence's iconic Oar remains one of rock's most haunting and enduring masterpieces — a landscape of eccentric songwriting and overwhelming melancholy, wrapped in country-blues shadows and Spence's deeply wounded baritone. AndOarAgain, released through Modern Harmonic as part of Record Store Day 2019, revisits and expands upon that seminal work, offering listeners an unparalleled window into the psychedelic legend's creative world.
Beyond the quintessential original album, AndOarAgain features nearly two hours of previously unheard music captured on the way to Oar — along with roads not taken — that both clarifies and deepens the enigma of how Spence shaped his iconic masterpiece. Packaged in a hardbound book-style jacket filled with rare photos and extensive liner notes from acclaimed music journalist David Fricke, this is a richly immersive release for anyone drawn to the most compelling and harrowing artifacts of rock and roll's most euphoric era.
