Comment

Toward the end, it was often difficult to get Phil Ochs in front of a microphone. Here, captured for posterity, is an exception, an impromptu-sounding set at Gerde's Folk City in which Phil offers a few crowd-pleasers but prefers to go back to remembered folk songs and numbers written by the country legends he admired, such as Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. (You might note a faint similarity in the chord changes of the Johnny Cash "Give My Love To Rose, Please Won't You Mister" and "Fill It Up with Ethel, Won't You Mister" from Phil's "Gas Station Women.") "Blue and the Gray" and "Jimmy Brown the Newsboy" were two songs that Phil
also sang at a pre-"Rolling Thunder" nightclub party in the Village that Bob Dylan attended.

The track list is approximate since Phil sometimes combines tunes or only sings parts of songs
