Today being the 49th anniversary of the Kent State shootings, we kick things off with
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Ohio This one goes out to my old Ohio friend, Bill Marvin who attended Kent State.
Bill Monroe and Doc Watson, The Banks of the Ohio
Joan Baez with Jerry Garcia, The Banks of the Ohio, 1981
Phil Ochs, Boy in Ohio, 1970. Underrated and largely forgotten, but not by this '60s veteran. Rest in peace, Phil.
Randy Newman, Dayton, Ohio 1903
Bruce Springsteen, Youngstown
Randy Newman, Burn On. An allusion to the Cuyahoga River catching on fire?
The Band, Look Out Cleveland
Ian Hunter, Cleveland Rocks
