Such a beautiful voice....New to me even though I was generously exposed to 1960's folk music when I was young.

Give this a listen...

This is genius at its best. This is simply stunning...

The melodies were Bob Gibson's; the lyrics were by the mighty Ewan MacColl. Phil performed and recorded this at a time when Ewan was still being refused a visa to enter the USA. Soon after he was allowed entry. One of the most important, and wonderful, things about Phil was he always would raise awareness of prejudice, of hate and of injustice; he publicised the courage, the struggle and the self-sacrifice of the unseen many who brought hope to people who had none; listen to Celia, Lou Marsh, The Ballad of Jimmy Meredith, Outside of a Small Circle of Friends, and you will understand. Always in my heart, Phil.

Phil Ochs was a beautiful person, and every reference to Jesus in the song is a reflection of all of us. We are Jesus we are God, believe in your own power to change the universe...united we are ONE!

Manuel R Crespo

Phil Ochs was a good man. O mundo sería un lugar mellor con xente coma el. The world needs songs lke these. Thanks from Galicia.

Extraordinaire chanson de Phil Ochs . Comment peut on se lasser d'écouter un tel chanteur?Tout est beau : les chansons - les paroles - le chan teur ;la voix. Quel dommage qu'il n'ait jamais été reconnu de son vivant.

Paul Lavan

He got some melodies from Bob Gibson, I believe. That doesn't stop Phil from being my hero, however.

Ballad of the Carpenter.

I was going to sarcastically compare this to The Highwayman or The Bells, under the assumption that you meant the lyrics or tune were Phil's. Then it hit me that you might have been referring to how Phil's story is in some ways similar to the story told in the song, meaning a better comparison might be to...well, anything from Rehearsals really.

reminds me of Phil Ochs

Gee, it's almost as though the man, and the men who wrote the songs, had a point.

Nancy Benefiel

It reminds me of the Rebel Jesus by Jackson Browne

Tommaso Santini

this reminds me of "Jesus Christ" by Woody Guthrie :)
