Phil Ochs

Artist:

Phil Ochs
Album:

Steal This Movie
Track:
- PLAY
- QUEUE
I Ain't Marching Anymore

Hearing about Lee Hazlewood inevitably got me thinking about other dead singer-songwriters. For some reason Phil Ochs popped into my mind. While Hazlewood made it to the old age of 78, Ochs hung himself at the comparatively young age of 36. A quick search on Mog shows that I'm the only person who's posted an Ochs song; so i figured I should probably post some more.

Bryan says I'm a 12th grade history teacher and use a few of Phil's songs in my '60's Counterculture Music unit......believe it or not, the kids actually get into him. It's nice to see......

shinsaholic says I would have enjoyed that in high school too. In case anyone didn't know, Youtube has some nice clips of Ochs.

cpetersonart3 says I've been a big fan of Phil Ochs since the early 70's. My favorite song by him was the Highwayman, that he adapted from the poet Alfred Noyes. On a more recent note Bethany Yarrrow (Peter Yarrow's Daughter)& Rufus did a cover of No More Songs and called it one of his most beautiful songs. He has been sorely missed. Its good to see others that apppreciate his music

tekla says It was so sad when he passed, I think that the world was just too rough and too hard for him. I miss him, a voice of reason in an insane world.
