I Ain't Marching Anymore

Phil Ochs, second only to Bob Dylan in the early 60s folk scene, had a real talent for writing protest songs that force listeners to think about the world they lived in. His songs on this album, released in 1965, cover topics from the Vietnam War to racial injustice, to other problems affecting the American people at the time. His lyrics are oozing with imagery and satirical double meanings and are often absolutely genius. This album has many highlights like "Here's to the State of Mississippi", "The Highwaymen", and "I Ain't Marching Anymore."
