Phil Ochs
A Toast to Those Who Are Gone
This is pure Ochs.
Review Score:
(10/10)This CD is one of my greatest treasures. I had not heard any of these songs before this CD, Ochs' wit, outrage, and sentimentality can be heard. This CD is vintage Phil Ochs. The songs I enjoy the most are the sentimental ones such as "I'm Tired" and "Song of My Returning". 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. If I had heard someone else sing these songs, I could have ventured to believe that Phil Ochs had written them. I basically listen to Phil Ochs for the lyrics and most times I am rewarded by great melodies. This CD did not disappoint me.
