Phil Ochs - Pleasures of the Harbor

The title song from this album, Pleasures of the Harbor, is an edgy tale of sailors home for brief shore leave. With Ochs's wiggling vocals and the gentle, stringed backing, sets you up for one of the most disturbing songs anywhere - The Crucifixion. Ochs opened some pretty strange doors in his brief time with us.

Possibly my favorite Phil Ochs record (Tape from California and Rehearsal for Retirement coming very close after).
