CD ReviewsA poet who plays the guitar - Land of Power and Glory Nancy Moran | Baltimore, Maryland USA | 09/07/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Phil Ochs eventually committed suicide, but he left us behind some masterful works of social commentary. Track 11 of these "Early Years" - "Power and Glory" is my favorite: ---------------- Come on, and take a walk with me, through this green and growin' land walk through the meadows and the mountains and the sand walk through the valleys and the rivers and the plains walk through the sun and walk through the rain [refrain] -------- From Colorado, Kansas, and the Carolinas, too Virginia and Alaska from the old and to the new Texas and Ohio and the California shore Tell me - who could ask for more? [refrain] -------- Oh she's only as rich as the poorest of the poor Only as free as a padlocked prison door Only as strong as our love for this land Only as tall as we stand. [refrain] -------- {Repeat first verse] -------- [Refrain] Here is a land full of power and glory, beauty that words cannot recall Oh her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom Glory shall rest on us all - on us all." Phil at his confident best R. Banker | United Kingdom | 01/08/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The non concert tracks sees Phil at his quietly persuasive in addressing the civil rights causes of the day, an early cut of 'There but for Fortune',Phil's equal exercise in universality to Dylan's 'Blowing in the wind' plus his totally hilarious standout studio cut 'Talking Airplane Disaster.'The 1963/1964 appearances at Newport show slightly different words to studio songs which flower in the rapturous applause building up by 'Links on the Chain.'With one exception, you see Phil in 1966 preview in acoustic form much more personal songs later cut in 'Pleasures from the Harbour'.They are valid alternatives in acoustic setting,and 'Cross my Heart' gains from this setting." Pretty good compilation Phyllis Friedemann | Alexandria, VA United States | 09/28/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "This recording is a pretty good compilation of Phil Ochs'early recordings. Although I was disappointed at the short, live version of "I Ain't Marching Anymore" this is a CD worth having for anyone who wants a sample of his early works and doesn't want to pay for a multiple-CD set. I'll admit that I only starting listening to Ochs after 1966 and was somewhat unfamiliar with his earlier works. This CD gave me an appreciation for the breadth of his songs. Of course, it was good nostalgia, too."
