This Is Absolutely Real
Visions and Versions of Phil Ochs
An album of songs written by Phil Ochs, including well-known and obscure ones. Phil Ochs was known as a brilliant topical / political songwriter - or less flatteringly, a "protest singer." But he understood that the best protest isn't necessarily a political song, but a great song that stands the test of time, that shows how marvelous and unstoppable our creativity and humanity can be.
