Some remarkable insights into the life and views of tragic folk- and protest-singer Phil Ochs are available in this collection of his non-music writing. Ochs was a major figure in the musical activism of the 1960s, and his songs are a masterful reflection of that time. This book collects a wide range of writing dating to his youth. It reveals a man always intrigued by the political and social state of the world, one who used both humor and poignancy to express his concern, and sometimes his rage, at the status quo. Only a handful of the pieces come near being as moving or enjoyable as his songs, but for anyone who wants to get at the roots of his work, this is a fine collection of adjunct material. His interviews with Los Angeles mayoral candidate Tom Reddin and actor Mike Mazurki are particularly enjoyable. What is not especially reflected in the book is Ochs's own descent toward mental despair and suicide. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
A comprehensive look at another side of the famous topical songwriter Phil Ochs, showcasing his prose and poetry from across the full span of his life.Phil Ochs is known primarily as a songwriter; however, his oeuvre extends far beyond that--to short stories, poetry, criticism, journalism, and satire, all of which are included in I'm Gonna Say It Now: The Writings of Phil Ochs, which represents the majority of what Ochs wrote outside of his large circle of songs. This comprehensive tome presents another side of the famous topical songwriter, showcasing his prose and poetry from across the full span of his life. From prizewinning stories and clear-eyed reporting while a journalism major in college to music criticism, satires, and political pieces written while part of the burgeoning folk scene of New York City in the early 1960s and during the tumultuous Vietnam War era; from sharp and lyrical poems (many previously unpublished) to reviews, features, and satires written while living in Los Angeles and the final, elegiac coda writings from near the end of his life--I'm Gonna Say It Now presents the complete picture. The book includes many rare or nearly impossible to find Ochs pieces, as well as previously unpublished works sourced from the unique holdings in the Ochs Archives at the Woody Guthrie Center. Additionally, never-before-seen reproductions from Ochs's journals, notebooks, and manuscripts provide a closer look at the hand of the artist, giving a deeper context and understanding to his writings. Never before published photographs of Ochs bestow the visual cherry on top. -- Amazon.com No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
