The Live Room session was recorded in Studio A at the infamous Ocean Way Recordings (Los Angeles, CA) earlier this year, the same room that artists from The Beach Boys and Frank Sinatra to Whiskeytown, Radiohead, and Tom Petty used before us. Despite the fact that we were coming off of a long break from playing music together (the session was captured before the release of Rivers In the Wasteland and its following tour), we knew that the opportunity to record at Ocean Way was something we would regret passing up. We were a bit nervous because for many of these songs, this was the first time we had played them as a band since recording them. But as we began "making noise" to test the microphones and get sounds, something happened that moved us to take chances with the setlist and the song arrangements that we are so happy we were able to document. Hopefully you can feel the energy of this incredibly special time for us. In retrospect, this session represents a landmark for NEEDTOBREATHE. This is the band getting our mojo back.

    I would be embarrassed to know the amount of times I have listened to the second verse breakdown.
  • @mpross92
    Going up on that second verse is gold!

    Seeing them do this and others live is just amazing. An all out rock song with banjo!

    Bear really has an awesome rock & roll voice! I got their very 1st album bc I thought the cover was very cool with a lion. It turned out that all the CD covers back then were designed by Bo! Great job Bo! I used to go to their concerts when there were only probably 20 concert goers at one venue. It's hard to believe, but Needtobreathe has come so far since! I was sad that Bo left the band and started his own music journey... Bo is very talented and also has a nice voice. Continue to compose great music with soul & heart!
