	Phil Ochs
		Ochs' greatest strengths were his wry, heartfelt lyrics and uncluttered melodies; his tenor was unassuming, and his guitar playing was never more than rudimentary.
		Ochs' debut is quickly-recorded, minimally arranged folk, with two guitars and his vocals.
		By far Ochs' high point, this was either recorded in Boston and New York, or in a studio with crowd noise overdubbed, depending on which liner notes you believe.

	Gadfly Online.
		Phil Ochs ended his life 25 years ago this April, dangling from a belt in his sister’s bathroom.
		Fans were confused, but it holds up as a stunningly gutsy gear-shift—especially Ochs' consideration of the apocalyptic implications of the Kennedy assassination ("Crucifixion"), the ache of a sailor on leave (the title track), and the what-the-hell-am-I-doing-here plight of a cocktail pianist ("The Party").
		Ochs actually wore that gold suit in the concert captured on Gunfight at Carnegie Hall (1975) and was booed for his troubles.

	Phil Ochs's "Pleasures of the Harbor" Liner Notes
		Ochs continued to write songs at a good clip, but recording-wise sat on the sidelines during these crucial 18 months, in part due to prolonged business machinations that saw him switch both managers and record companies.
		Ochs was beginning to write long songs at this point, and in fact Phil might have gotten carried away with "Cross My Heart," as he cut several verses from the number after the album was finished (one of those verses appears on the demo version of the tune on Rhino’s Farewells and Fantasies box set).
		Ochs took the (singing, not playing) role of the pianist at a party of upper-class snobs, though he didn’t exclude himself from criticism either.

		Phil’s first three albums —; his best and his most political — were released successively in 1964-1966 at the beginning of the Vietnam War and at the peak of the civil rights movement.
		Phil’s first album in 1964, called "All the News That’s Fit to Sing," included the song "Power and Glory," which was sort of his personal version of Woody Guthrie’s "This Land is Your Land." The title reflects how a great nation can misuse the former and thereby fail to achieve the latter.

	Mavrik Realty - The Real Estate Fairy
		Phil Ochs was a singer/songwriter during the 1960's (variously categorized as "topical", "protest" and "folk").
		Ochs addressed all manner of anti-war, civil rights, labor, and social justice issues on his first albums, the best of which was In Concert (1966).
		Ochs' social criticism was deepening in acuity, as heard on "Canons of Christianity," "Cops of the World," and the satirical "Love Me, I'm a Liberal." But he also began to move into non-political subjects with equal or greater effect, as on "There But for Fortune" and "Changes," his most famous love song.

		Ochs recorded eight LPs during his life, beginning with two collections of topical folk songs for Elektra (1964’s All The News That’s Fit To Sing and 1965’s I Ain’t Marching Anymore), followed by the live (but overdubbed) Phil Ochs In Concert.

		Having heard 'Phil Ochs in Concert' what jumped out at me is the contrastingly darker mood of Phil's verbal intros (set against the aftermath of 'the Chicago experience')and that he might not remember all the words to his songs.
		Phil Ochs revealed himself with a rare integrity and fierce commitment to his perceptions of the society he lived in.
		I believe the best way to sample Ochs is in front of an audience, hearing him intro the songs and how the issues impacted upon him.

		Phil's compassion, and wit are to the fore on the tale of the rise and fall of an entrepeneur, Billy Sol;in the beautiful song supporting the striking Hazard miners, No Christmas In Kentucky, and in the classic anti- death penalty song of Paul Crump.
		These show the vunerable side of Phil, whereas the humorous songs are upbeat and the songs of political discontent are direct and to the point.
