I Ain't Marching Anymore
by Phil Ochs
The 2322nd greatest album of all time
I Ain't Marching Anymore, released in 1965 by Phil Ochs, is a contemporary folk album of topical protest songs centered on acoustic guitar and direct, conversational vocals. The material pairs sharp political commentary and sardonic humor with historical and current-event references to address war, civil rights, and social issues, and the title track exemplifies the album's plainspoken singer-songwriter approach to protest music. The record is widely regarded as a key statement of Ochs' role in 1960s folk activism.
