5.0 out of 5 stars
The real deal.,
By David Young (Jacksonville, Fl. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: There and Now (Audio CD)
Great acoustic versions of some of Phil's best songs. "The Scorpion Departs But Never Returns", Pleasures of the Harbor" and my favorite Phil Ochs song, "William Butler Yeats Visits Lincoln Park and Escapes Unscathed". Sounding just great all stripped down with just Phil and his guitar. True, Ochs does forget some words here and there making him almost...human. I saw Dylan twice(so far) and he forgot the words to some things too. One thing I really like about Ochs is the amazing things he says between songs. Really great observations of life in America that ring just as true today. How'd he do that? The much underated guitar playing just shines here. This guy had talent. And don't ever forget the songs. I won't.

Honest and heart-breaking,
By Ron Kawalilak (Fremantle, Western Australia Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: There and Now (Audio CD)
A truely honest and edgy performance from a singer-songwriter battling his demons and the contradictions of the 60s. He may humm some of the words, but "There But for Fortune" and "Pleasures of the Harbour" cut to the soul. This music is not wallpaper ... it demands attention.

His best album,
By Fran Wishnick (Western Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: There and Now (Audio CD)
It is extremely frustrating to see poor reviews of this album. I believe this is by far Phil Ochs's best album. Phil was extremely affected by the events in Chicago, and this heartfelt album demonstrates the emotions that he was feeling. He put every ounce of energy into his songs, with every bit of anger or depressed feelings that could to win over the audience and get them to take an even stronger stand against injustices and lack of freedom. In other albums, in contrast, he sang songs with a mood of passive acceptance and hoped the audience would leave having learning something positive. While in this album he consistently said at the beginning of songs "I don't remember the words [or the lyrics] to this song," it takes a closed-minded critic to mock that instead of simply enjoying the messages that he had to offer.
