I know there have already been a number of Townes Van Zandt songs posted, but I can't resist adding this one to the thread as it's one of my absolute favorites of his. If I were slightly more evil I'd insist on having it played at my funeral.:)

Thanks also to Druidic for posting the Phil Ochs videos. I'll be placing some orders on Amazon tonight for sure.

Genuinely psychotic and nightmarish; the live-action equivalent of a JK Potter photograph.

"It was on one cold wintry night, when the wind blew across the wild moor..." It's all down hill from there. No one escapes this song alive.

More Ochs because too much is never enough. I think what I most enjoy here is his dig at Dylan who routinely tortured Ochs in the mid-60's. This is what Ochs called "a propaganda song."

One of the best songs I know.

An outwardly poppy, bitterly black humored tune chronicling a troubled couple's descent into loathing, infidelity, and eventual murder, always with the same sunny refrain:

'What a dark and dreary life; are you reaching for a knife?
Could you really kill your wife?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!'

Until the ground around me within her blood did flow..."
