Canadian-born Alexander “Skip” Spence was a co-founder of Moby Grape and played guitar with them until 1969. That same year, he released his only solo album: *Oar*.

The album was recorded after Spence spent six months in a psychiatric hospital following an episode in which, while under the influence of LSD, he attempted to attack his Moby Grape bandmates with a fire axe. Legend has it that on the day of his release, wearing only his pajamas, he rode a motorcycle straight to Nashville to record his only solo album. The fact is that he recorded this album in seven days, playing all the instruments himself, and that the final result is now considered a classic psychedelic folk album. After this album, Spence largely withdrew from the music industry.
