ONCE UPON A TIME...Where Are You Now,My Son?
 |
JOAN BAEZ Where Are You Now, My Son? (A&M,1973) - Folk |
The two sides of the album—the first seven songs on the first side and the journalistic exploration on the second side—work to paint a vivid portrait of this period in history. The album itself is full of every form of grief, but also with every form of love imaginable. In her artistry, Baez utilizes music as a tool of healing. Where Are You Now, My Son? serves as a two-fold reminder: first, of the horrors of war but secondly, and more importantly, as a tale of resilience. Baez denies no truth in her exploration of life in Vietnam, but she allows the viewer to see past the tragedy. After all, it is so easy to look at history books and see faces, unnamed and unknown, suffering and simply reduce them to that tragedy. What Baez did was allow for viewers to finally hear the voices of the oppressed. At the time of this album’s release, the U.S. had declared a supposed peace and was evacuating the country they had initially invaded. But, as many of us know, the war will never be over.
