Hi...I need some help. I am new to this. I have reviewed the Wikipedia Page for "Phil Ochs". Can someone who knows how to do this...please help with updating the Phil Ochs Page!! This is really important...especially with the new interest the music of Sammy Walker. Sincerely, Ray Maternick

In the year prior to his untimely death by suicide, Phil was introduce to a young 22 year old Songwriter named Sammy Walker. When Ochs first heard 22-year-old Walker’s songs — such as “A Cold Pittsburgh Morning,” which the young songwriter had pulled from the pages of a newspaper story about a city obsessed with sports celebrity — Ochs identified with the singer on a personal level. In fact, Ochs felt very strongly that Walker was the next great hope for folk music. Walker’s first album, Broadside Ballads, Vol. 8: Song for Patty, on the Folkways was actually produced by Ochs. Ochs committed suicide a year after he produced Walker’s first album, and though Walker continued on, releasing albums for Warner Brothers, his music never captured a large audience. This disinterest caused him to give up on music for many years.

Eventually, the native Georgian, Sammy Walker, moved to North Carolina, where he met and befriended the Avett Brothers’ manager Dolph Ramseur and recorded a comeback album, Misfit scarecrow, on Ramseur Records in 2008.
