The Wanderer by O.A.R. (1997) - Honorable Mention 2
How A Game Of Poker Shaped A Generation!
In this Honorable Mention episode of Album Archives, we dive into The Wanderer by O.A.R., the college-born debut that defined an era of grassroots rock. Released in 1997, this raw and heartfelt album captured the restless spirit of youth and independence with anthems like “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker” and “Black Rock.” We explore how a group of Maryland college friends turned dorm-room jams into a movement that inspired a generation of fans—and how The Wanderer set the stage for O.A.R.’s enduring career in live music and storytelling.
