their song had been written independently of Snider's. Snider's third Oh Boy release was a live album, Near Truths and Hotel Rooms, which was released on May 13, 2003. The record, which was recorded at half a dozen venues, captured Snider's live show post-Nervous Wrecks — just him solo with his acoustic guitar and harmonica. Robert Christgau gave the album an A− grade in his Consumer Guide. Snider's final studio album for Oh Boy, East Nashville Skyline, was released on July 20, 2004. For the first time, Snider took full creative control of his record-making process, and the result was an album that was both a musical and cultural breakthrough. It introduced East Nashville to the larger world, and its influence reverberates to this day. Snider co-produced the record with his old Nervous Wrecks bandmate Will Kimbrough at engineer Eric McCullough's East Nashville studio. In addition to guitarist Kimbrough and multi-instrumentalist McCullough, he was backed on the sessions by a who's who of East Nashville musicians, including guitarist Tim Carroll, bassists Dave Jacques and Dave Roe, drummers Paul Griffith and Craig Wright, and pianist John Deadrick. East Nashville Skyline included two iconic songs that added to the songwriting canon: "Play a Train Song" pushed the boundaries of "train" songs with the story of a man who was known for always requesting that kind of song, and "The Ballad of the Kingsmen" took the talking blues to a more contemporary place musically while connecting the censorship of "Louie Louie" culturally to the Columbine shootings. Pitchfork called the album "the wittiest and feistiest album of his career." Robert Christgau gave it an A in his Consumer Guide and called it "a slacker wakeup call." PopMatters ranked it the seventh-best album of 2004. East Nashville Skyline reached No. 28 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart. After East Nashville Skyline, Snider moved to Bob Mercer's New Door Records label which was distributed by Universal Music Group, but Oh Boy would issue one more album of his music. On April 3, 2007, the label released Peace, Love And Anarchy (Rarities, B-Sides And Demos, Vol. I), a compilation of previously unreleased recordings. Notable among the collection's fourteen tracks is the song "East Nashville Skyline" which was intended to be the title track of the album of the same name but Snider did not finish it in time to make the album.
