No one except psychedelic Renaissance man Alexander "Skip" Spence
could have created an album such as Oar.
Alternately heralded as a "soundtrack to schizophrenia" and a "visionary solo effort,"
Oar became delegated to cut out and bargain bins shortly after its release in the spring of 1969.
However those who did hear it were instantly drawn into Spence's inimitable sonic surrealism.
As his illustrious past in the Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service,
and Moby Grape would suggest, this album is a pastiche of folk and rock.
In reality, however, while these original compositions may draw from those genres,
each song has the individuality of a fingerprint.
As a solo recording, Oar is paramount as Spence performed and produced every sound
on the album himself at Columbia Records studios in Nashville in the space of less than two weeks
