Seventh
album released by the
folk singer Phil Ochs, in
1970 on the
A&M label, produced by
Van Dyke Parks. It represents a point in his
life and
music at which he was literally going
insane. And the songs on the album are not Phil Ochs'
greatest hits, because firstly, they were mostly new material, and secondly, Ochs never really had any hits. These songs are not even his best ever, though
Jim Dean of Indiana,
Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Me, and
No More Songs are very good. On the front cover of the album is a picture of Ochs, in a
gold lame suit, at his disastrous
Gunfight at Carnegie Hall concert. The banner on the back cover reads:
FIFTY PHIL OCHS FANS CAN'T BE WRONG!
The songs on the album are:
