God Help the Troubadour: The Eternal Voice of Phil Ochs

For someone who came of age during the Reagan 1980s, the decade of junk bonds that made synthesizers and drum machines permanent fixtures in popular music, it’s a treat to listen in as politically active socially aware women discuss their favorite folk artist’s songs about war and protest. more
