After his exit from Capitol Records, O’Bryan signed to A&M Records. Unfortunately, due to a change in management and creative philosophy, O’Bryan requested a release from A&M. He then signed with Atlantic Records distributed label Third Stone Records which was founded by actor Michael Douglas and record producer Richard Rudolph. Prior to the release of O’Bryan's first release with Third Stone Records, Atlantic Records folded the label. Thus, at the height of his recording career, O’Bryan quietly exited the recording industry.
