Fun fact like alot of americans myself included he was a liberal in that he meant it when he said blacks and others should have the same rights as the whites. He treated them like people not pets and a voting block. He distanced himself from the scene when it was clear thay communists had taken over. He loved america...even though he was not american. America is exceptionally good and fair when compared to any other society from any other time in history. Have we had some bad periods...yep hell yea but when compared to the world at large its the greatest country of all. Believe it or not but liberals used to believe in this as well they were no commies or socialists.

I will be honest and don’t know who this song is about.

John Denver was taken way to soon

FORE!!!!!

Gordon recorded this on his debut album, but didn't sing as many verses. This is a good live version, though. One thing I liked about the folkies and old-timey music folks---they kept their mouths shut until it was time to sing or applaud.

Awesome. This line will always haunt me, "In Luang Prabang there is a spot, where the corpses of your brothers rot. And every corpse is a patriot, and every corpse is a hero."

Beautifully played! Can you share the tab please? (Sorry, english is not my first language)

Brilliant

Thus song is actually about synthetic substance abuse and homosexuality

Jesus....

I miss Guy Clark. He was a lyrical genius.

This is a wonderful compliation, Bruised Orange, Donald and Lydia, hello in there. Man you've really brought me back, Thanks so much

A song needed in the Trump era

THANK YOU- I MISS JD.

this used too be called The Land of Power and Glory, god damet mandella

He’s a true free spirit song writer that loves the mtns. My wife and I love the mtns too there’s something about wind blowing through 100’ pines and the wildlife doing their thing

Looks like a Banjo.

I really love this version of this beautiful song. Another classic from John Denver.❤️

You have “THE voice” and amazing talent…just keep on keeping on and someday we’ll all be replacing our “Swifty” tees with “Boot Leg”☺️👍

One of the best to ever do it. Rest In Peace

I'd heard of Dave Van Ronk for years via Hot Tuna and Hesitation Blues, and finally got to experience him in 1998 in Seattle at the little folk stage of the annual Bumbershoot fest. Boy was I lucky. I knew I was in the presence of something very rare indeed. Woah! Cut me to the quick.

he was anti-establishment like John Kerry when Kerry was featured on the news opposing the vietnam war. Which is to say, Ochs was part of the cia's 'anti establishment' movement. His mind control eventually malfunctioned.

Phil’s words live forever.

An amazing interpretation of this incredible Phil's song. Tim Hardin was incredible. Like always.

There's a song that could have very well been co-written with Shel Silverstein. Gibson collaborated with him on a pretty much regular basis.

Boot Leg, where've you been bro, we miss your streams!😄✌️

Truly stunning tribute of this marvellous Phil Ochs masterpiece, which in the late 60s was my fortunate introduction to Phil's album of the same title. What wondrous folk music we enjoyed in those years of heady discovery, which almost 60 years later, still resonate with beauty. ❤

A mi parecer una de sus mejores interpretaciones. Se nota que lo estaba disfrutando y que cantaba con el alma.

Loaded for bear with the need to bring in the herd of social justice 'folkies', Dave said good-bye to Phil in the most potent way he could imagine! What a spirit - such a brutally determined folk artist, was Dave ! Missing him still !

es la interpretación más hermosa del mundo. Bravo y felicidades.

Can't you upload those rare Ochs songs? The original your eyes will taste of the flowers?

Real Foxhole hours

That's a bajo

What a great hidden gem. Is there any chance you could upload Phil's version or where I could find it?

Nice

Good songs.👍🏼

Finally lyrics come into fruition ⚰️🎉

Still a beautiful voice.

The voice at the beginning who says “Do Butterfly”, to which Johnson replies “I’m gonna do Waiting Around To Die “, is John Denver, who was Johnson’s partner in a group called the Mitchell Trio, later called Denver, Boise and Johnson.

Horrific the physical condition he was in there. Unable to even remember the lyrics with the sheets. Keep off the drugs folks is all I can say here…. I’m a huge Hardin fan but his addiction and selfishness casts a shadow over his otherwise genius existence. RIP TIM. You’ve left a footprint that can will live on for decades.

Gerdys Folk City

Still has the power to make me well up.😢

Some will never leave the nest , While some walk on the moon . How profound is that ❤

He would have been far better off singing songs to and about Jesus and hope. He had none.

Dude, your english is by far beter than the most of chinese ot even indy people, as portuguese speacker bilngual I undestood you sound and clear! Congrats! Be proud!

Good lord the "controversial" verse is depressingly accurate.

This may be earlier than 1/66: GL put this on his first solo album (recorded 12/64, though it wasn't released until early '66) and he says here Ochs "wrote this in Toronto last summer. " That may have been '64. Ochs played the unfinished song for Gord and the version on Lightfoot! varies a little with the version here and the one Ochs finally recorded (live) around Christmas '65.

I know TP wrote this, but John Denvers rendition is far superior 😊

This video shows the great Tom Rush at the peak of his talent. But his recent work is still impressive after all of these years. Rush is one of the prototypical singer songwriter guitarists who, in my view, never got the recognition he fully deserves. I saw him back in the 70s and he was incredible. BTW, he is a terrific acoustic guitarist, too!
