Stories of a Stranger by O.A.R.
Stories of a Stranger is an album by O.A.R., released in 2005. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Love and Memories”, on 11 lists with a best position of #34.
Stories of a Stranger, O.A.R.'s fifth studio album, came out on October 4, 2005, through Everfine and Lava, with Jerry Harrison in the producer's chair. The band that started out in Rockville, Maryland, and met saxophonist Jerry DePizzo at Ohio State was still the same five: Marc Roberge singing and playing guitar, Richard On on guitar, Benj Gershman on bass, Chris Culos on drums and DePizzo on sax.
It's a polished, radio-minded record, Roberge's scratchy voice out front and DePizzo's sax warming up the corners. It paid off: "Love and Memories" became their best-charting single yet, reaching No. 30 on the Modern Rock chart and No. 18 on Adult Top 40, and "Heard the World" and "Lay Down" followed as singles in 2006.
