Thread Name: I just discovered Phil Och's music
Subject: I just discovered Phil Och's music
I just discovered the music of Phil Ochs while looking through vinyl at a local record shop. I'd heard a bit about him over the years while growing up (I'm 27), and now find his singing, message, songwriting and guitar playing (his guitar playing is full of color, shades and variety) quite good. Did Phil have a lot of radio airplay and popularity during his heyday? Was he almost in the same leauge as Bob Dylan (mass media coverage, etc.) in the 60's? Did anyone ever meet him and/or see him perform live?
