Phil Ochs's All the News That's Fit to Sing

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXEJ25Rkvyc

Description: Phil Ochs stands solemnly in Washington Square Park on the cover of *All the News That’s Fit to Sing*, looking less like a pop star than a street-corner reporter with a guitar for a notepad. Framed by the park’s arch and the restless energy of Greenwich Village in 1964, the image captures the moment when coffeehouse folk was sharpening itself into musical journalism about civil rights, war, and injustice. Standing where the photo was taken, you can almost hear the clatter of typewriters and protest chants that fed his songs. This is one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
