Phil Ochs got his
start in New York City as part of the Greenwich Village folk music revival. He was a contemporary of Bob Dylan, Tom
Paxton, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Janis Ian, Len Chandler, Odetta, and others
following the vibrant tradition of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Phil Ochs and
Malvina Reynolds had about 70 songs published in Broadside: The National
Topical Song Magazine published by Sis Cunningham and Gordon Friesen. Kudos to
SingOut! Magazine, which is now in the process of archiving and making the
Broadside song collection available to the public. Likewise, Folkways is being
preserved by the Smithsonian Museum in Washington.
