Review

This year, while rummaging through the Broadside tape collection, I found dozens of Phil Ochs songs that had never been on record. Out of these we chose 30 for remastering. These songs were originally taped solely for Sis Cunningham to transcribe and include in Broadside. So, in listening, we find that sometimes choruses are left out; Phil stops to turn over the page he's reading from ; in the background a parakeet chirps furiously; a noisy typewriter bangs out the next copy of Broadside.

Obviously, these are not tapes of studio quality. But the songs are good, some of Phil's best. And the performances are powerful. All in all, Phil Ochs- The Boadside Tapes provides a stirring aural document direct from the center of the Topical Song Movement in its formative years of 1962-64. Many of the songs are just as relevant today as they were when they were written. And we need them just as much today. Listen to them. Learn them. And sing them.
