Something to Think About, Beautifully Sung
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phil Ochs died in 1976 but his peak years 1964-1969. When others (e.g. Dylan) moved on to other genres, Ochs remained loyal to folk music and protest songs. The specificity of songs like I Ain't Marching Anymore, Here's to the State of Mississippi and the hilarious Draft Dodger's Rage might make them a little dated, but they still have a powerful message. And songs like There but for Fortune and Changes aren't dated in the least. They remain haunting and beautiful. If you've never heard his music, you owe it to yourself to buy this album.
