Product ReviewsThe Broadside Tapes 1 by Phil Ochs (CD, Oct-1989, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings)

Good choice for those who like Phil Ochs

This is an album that was done in a small studio. It has an intimate feel, as if the listener were in that small studio--an audience of one for Phil and his guitar. Some of the songs are not familiar. They are preceded by small introductions by Phil. Some of the songs are somber, one humorous ("The Ballad of Alferd Packer"), one commercial ("Talking Pay TV") and all topical for that period of time.Read full review...
