Today while driving into the big city and back I listened to Phil Ochs "Pleasures Of The Harbor" which I had just transcribed from vinyl. I found it a quite interesting departure from his earlier protest type work. I must confess that when I first brought the LP home I played it once and said what the hell is that all about and put it away - I was expecting the protest singer/songwriter. On relisten I found beautifully written songs and melodies even though some of the arrangements are a little jarring - ragtime and dixieland style sound a little odd on Phil.
I'm wondering if this album has been discussed here and what are your opinions of it.
