Phil Ochs was a topical songwriter who was at the forefront of the folk music scene in the 1960'S-70'S. In the spring of 1973, he made a small U.S. tour that among other shows, included this stop at The Stables in East Lansing Michigan. This previously unreleased recording sparkles in performance and recording. It features a mix of tunes through the entirety of Phil's career in a generous program of eighteen songs. The disc also features Ballad of a Carpenter recorded in March of 1974 in Chicago. It is amazing that this gem of a recording has taken over forty years to be officially released
