This Is Absolutely Real

This Is Absolutely Real: Visions and Versions of Phil Ochs is a cover album by American blues and folk musician Pat Wictor.

It was released in 2017 on Wictor's independent label, RiskyDisc Records.

In Sing Out!, Ron Olesko described This Is Absolutely Real as a "welcome collection" that "celebrates two outstanding voices—the iconic Phil Ochs as well as contemporary folk music's standard-bearer, Pat Wictor."

Wictor's song selection and his recordings, Olesko wrote, "show the beautiful poetry that embodied the work of Phil Ochs.

... By choosing these deeper tracks from Phil Ochs song book, Pat reveals both the beauty and depth of Ochs' artistic achievements while adding to his own impressive accomplishments as a creative musician.
