Phil Ochs bared his soul in his songs
Phil was never one to say anything half way.
He sang of love and he sang about America in the sixties and seventies, but he would be overshadowed by Dylan during his lifetime and, like the lessons of the Vietnam war, he is largely unremembered today, but, like those lessons, his songs still stand up today in their relevance, plus they are filled with beauty and no small measure of humor.
Give him a listen. Then give him another. Then give a friend a gift of Phil Ochs.
