I'm thinking of doing a music review on Ochs' entire catalog if you're interested, Lisna (or anyone else). He came out of the whole New York Greenwich Village folk scene of the Early sixties and evolved into this album, which I'll get into later. I get that he's not necessarily the greatest vocalist (he was basically a poet who put music to his words, much like Patti Smith later), but to me, anyway, he's the greatest pure folk musician who ever lived.

This collection has always been a favorite of mine
since right after he died. I think his brother put it
together that features some rare tunes done by him.
There's also a film about his life that's also called
"Chords of Fame" that's probably on YouTube.
He certainly was a mess in his last years, but the
work he left us was really top-notch.

I love both of these versions for wildly differing reasons:
