O.A.R. - 34th & 8th

34th & 8th is O.a.r.'s second official live album. It's a two-disc affair like 2002's Any Time Now, but in a move befitting the band's jump to Lava/Atlantic, the tri-folding package includes a full-length DVD of the show and some snappy artwork. Recorded on the 28th and 29th of November during the '03 tour for In Between Now And Then, 34th favors the band's jammy side. To that end, oldies like "Black Rock" and "About Mr. Brown" dawdle past the six- and seven- minute mark, and disc one ends with a medley of "City on Down" and "Delicate Few." While fans of the more straightforward In Between Now And Then might balk at this approach, dilly-dallyers should know that what O.a.r. lack in brevity they make up for with boundless, addictive energy. Read More
