Product Description
From Amazon.com
Legend has it that Bob Dylan once devastated the young Ochs by calling him a "journalist" instead of a musician. There's a grain of truth to Dylan's barb, and it explains both the power and limitations of Och's art. Much of his topical material can't stand time's test, although the urgent, black humor of "Here's to the State of Mississippi" and the antiwar anthem "Draft Dodger Rag" still smacks of relevance, no matter how distant their subjects. No doubt the unexpected assassination of Kennedy and the growing mire of the Vietnam War gave Ochs the anger and intensity these songs show. This 1965 album is an essential document of the decade, a glimpse into Och's obsessive genius. --Roy Francis Kasten

Incredle lyrics; abysmal sound quality, Dec 1 2000
By Carl Delaune - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: I Ain't Marching Anymore (Audio CD)
This is one of Phil's best. If you're not interested in the sixties, just listen to The Highwayman, or Hills of West Virginia. However, the Hannibal CD is wretched. The sound is often clipped and garbled. You can sometimes even hear people talking in the background. These noises are *not* on my 35 year old LP. Very sad.

True Protest singing, Feb 23 2000
By Kevin Lewis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: I Ain't Marching Anymore (Audio CD)
Ochs with his education in Journalism makes his second album the one he is most regognizable for. It is true "raw" lyrics and,(after listening to it for a while) poetry. Too bad (or good) Ochs had to make this album the less commercial possible. "Here's to the state of Mississippi", "I Ain't Marchin Anymore", "Iron Lady", "That was the President" and "The Links on the Chain" are true classics. Begin or end your Folk collection with this album, just buy it and see the world from a different angle forever!

Truth, Jun 28 2006
By Harlan Traughber - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: I Aint Marching Anymore (Audio CD)
Phil Ochs, in his open and triuphantly victorious album, "I Ain't Marching Anymore", influences our minds, energizes our bodies, and aids our souls in the never-ending, human quest for truth. Phil Och's music is truth, and that's the only way to describe it. It's not exactly folk music, with its tragic, painfull, though, allbeit, common songs about the depth of humanity's suffering, but something greater. Something not limited to the suffering of poor people and indegents, but of the human condition in general. The infinite human compassion, and the violent, terrible human history; two parts of humanity, both seperate and precious, and both necessary. Violence, in its past tense, is useful: without it, no one could learn from it. With it, however, humanity can expand and progress. This is what Phil Ochs was trying to communicate with his music.
