This is the real thing
, October 6, 1999Reviewer: jason_rosen - See all jason_rosen's reviewsAs one of probably less than a dozen fans of Phil Ochs who was born after his death, I have had the ability to look back on the entire folk music genre as a whole. Bob Dylan is of course the champion of folk music, but he is little more than a sell-out. He quickly turned his back on the traumatic political issues of the times, and broke his ties with Ochs. By Dylan's own admission Ochs was his superior, and who am I to disagree? Ochs' music was pure and revealing, and though oftentimes disturbing, he was always true to himself and his cause. This box set captures most of his work and contains satiristic songs such as "Small Circle of Friends" as well as touching songs like "Crucifixion". A wonderful insight into an incredibly interesting period in music and America in general. ...

Pro Reviews: Farewells & Fantasies
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews This 53-song triple-CD set is the most comprehensive collection of Ochs' career that anyone with the cash is likely to see. This set largely supplants Ochs' Elektra discs. The 21-song first disc, steeped in the defiant, leftist politics of the early '60s -- sort of a political time capsule -- sums up his early career as a singing activist/journalist, filled with a mixture of seething outrage and youthful optimism, and sparked by the more than occasional turn of phrase and inventive topical allusion. In addition to expected tracks like "I Ain't Marchin' Anymore," "The Bells," "The Power and the Glory," "Bound for Glory," and "The Highwayman" (from the Vancouver show), listeners get a pair of previously unreleased tracks, including "Morning," one of the very first songs Ochs wrote in New York. The second disc takes a more poetic turn and shows the first signs of maturation, as well the deepening despair and resignation that would ultimately destroy Ochs. Its 16 songs merge his later AM material with the transitional songs present on his 1966 Elektra "live" album, along with a pair of 1964-vintage demos. And the third disc sums up Ochs in his most daring musical guise, holding audiences spellbound with live performances of "Crucifixion" and his other epic compositions; venturing successfully into art rock with "Pleasures of the Harbor"; parodying his own style as he satirizes the country's foibles in "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends"; performing obituaries to his life ("Chords of Fame") and its purpose ("No More Songs"); and generally challenging even those who thought they knew and understood him. The 98-page booklet is richly annotated and impressively illustrated, and the sound is uniformly excellent. - Bruce Eder, All Music Guide |
