Guess what? We have just celebrated our 18th anniversary. Those who try things we recommend are rewarded. We have stayed in business for one reason and that is we have never attempted to appeal to the lowest common denominator as mainstream outlets do. At the same time we recognise that people do have different tastes and to some CMT is actually good. We also appeal to those people and offer many mainstream items in our bargain bin. But the legends and true country music are our bread butter and will always be. If you see something you think you may like but are worried let us know.

It finds that technological innovations, the growth of a youth culture, and market forces in the post- World War II era came together to transform the normal musical experience from a social event grounded in live performance into a consumable recorded commodity that satisfied individual desires.

  • Phil Ochs: No Place in This World
    College Quarterly - Summer 2005 Page 1 of 25 College Quarterly Summer 2005 - Volume 8 Number 3 Home Phil Ochs: No Place in this World Contents by Howard A. Doughty Abstract Phil Ochs was a prominent topical songwriter and singer in the 1960s. He was conventionally considered second only to Bob Dylan in terms of popularity, creativity and influence in the specific genre of contemporary folk music commonly known as "protest music". Whereas Dylan successfully reinvented himself many times in terms of his musical style and social commentaries, Ochs failed to win critical support when he, too, attempted to transform himself from a broadside balladeer into a more self-consciously artistic lyricist and performer. From the events at the Democratic Party convention in 1968 until his suicide in 1976, Phil Ochs' public and private life spiraled downward. Today, he would be readily identified as a victim of "bipolar disorder." Such a psychiatric assessment, while plausible in its own terms, says nothing about the political events that set the context for Phil Ochs' personal tragedy. This paper attempts to balance the individual and larger contextual themes. This article is prompted as much by personal reflection upon a particular man as it is by the ostensibly more general subject of his music, politics and relationship to American culture. Now, in the thirtieth year since his suicide, I am still seeking to sort out what, if anything, was the meaning of Phil Ochs' life, work and death to people who were outside his small circle of friends and family. I have made three attempts to put my own feelings in writing.

Thus “Cops of the World”, from the album Phil Ochs in Concert released in 1966, was a stinging indictment of inflated and brutal masculine acistr war practice. The “cops of the world” are conquerors of land and sea and women.

ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT TO SING: PHIL OCHS, VIETNAM, AND THE NATIONAL PRESS by THOMAS CODY WATERS (Under the Direction of Eric Allen Hall) ABSTRACT Though a prolific topical musician and a prominent figure of the antiwar movement during the 1960s, Phil Ochs remains relatively understudied by scholars due to the lure of more commercially successful folk artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. His music facilitated awareness of pressing, and sometimes controversial, issues that would otherwise have not been discussed. Focusing on Ochs’ most musically productive years from 1964 until 1968, which coincide with the years of increased American involvement in Southeast Asia, this thesis analyzes Ochs in a way that has not been attempted before.

So I guess I’ll have to do it while I’m here” – Phil Ochs SYNOPSIS As our country continues to embroil itself in foreign wars and once again pins its hopes on a new leader’s promise for change, the feature length documentary, Phil Ochs: There But For Fortune is a timely tribute to an unlikely American hero. Phil Ochs, a folk singing legend, who many called “the emotional heart of his generation,” loved his country and he pursued its honor, in song and action, with a ferocity that had no regard for consequences. Wielding only a battered guitar, a clear voice and a quiver of razor sharp songs, he tirelessly fought the “good fight” for peace and justice throughout his short life. Phil Ochs rose to fame in the early 1960’s during the height of the folk and protest song movement. His songs, with lyrics ripped straight from the daily news, spoke to those emboldened by the hopeful idealism of the day.

  • 1 '60S Folk Legend Phil Ochs Celebrated on New “Best Of” Album Featuring “Outside of a Small Circle of Friends” and A
    1 ‘60S FOLK LEGEND PHIL OCHS CELEBRATED ON NEW “BEST OF” ALBUM FEATURING “OUTSIDE OF A SMALL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS” AND A LIVE “I AIN’T MARCHIN’ ANYMORE” No singer-songwriter of the ‘60s more epitomized that revolutionary decade than Phil Ochs. His journey from idealism to disillusion, acoustic to electric, protest songs to personal confessions, more closely reflected the era than even the man he is most often compared to, Bob Dylan. Now Ochs’ most significant songs from his final five albums--his most folk-rockin’, intensely personal --have been compiled on The Best Of Phil Ochs edition of 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection (A&M/UME), released January 29, 2002. Each of the 12 selections, spanning his A&M recordings from 1967 to 1970, has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes. Featured are his classics “Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends” and “The War Is Over” plus a live solo rendition of his early signature tune “I Ain’t Marchin’ Anymore,” recorded at his first performance following his arrest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Ochs had already penned and performed some of folk music’s most astute and poetic songs before moving to A&M for 1967’s Pleasures Of The Harbor. The album outsold his three Elektra albums combined, and The Best Of Phil Ochs includes the title track, “Cross My Heart,” “Flower Lady,” “Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends” (a devastating parody on apathy) and “The Crucifixion” (inspired by John F. Kennedy’s assassination). His next LP, 1968’s Tape From California, included its title track and “The War Is Over.” Its release was followed by Ochs helping to organize the antiwar rally that erupted into violence when Chicago police attacked protesters.
