Biography

One of the quintessential protest singers of the 1960s Greenwich Village folk scene, Phil Ochs was among the few songwriters who could give Bob Dylan a run for his money in terms of crafting politically oriented material. By the later '60s, though, his style (like Dylan's) began to mature, resulting in expansive art-folk classics like PLEASURES OF THE HARBOR. Sadly, we'll never know what else he might have accomplished, as the notoriously troubled Ochs took his own life in 1976 at the age of 35.
