Phil Ochs: Pleasures Of The Harbor
His fourth album for A&M Records, Pleasures of the Harbor was released in 1967, and is recognized as one of Ochs’ less vibrant albums compared to his previous three. The album is notable for its blending of genres such as classical, rock, folk, creating a folk-pop sound.
The most popular track, “Outside of a Small Circle of Friends,” had a reference to marijuana which was misinterpreted, and therefore banned from being played by numerous stations. This resulted in the song never making it onto the charts.
