Joan Baez – Where Are You Now, My Son (1973) (@256)
29 Dec 2009
(Review from rateyourmusic.com, allmusic, wikipedia)
Baez’s 13th studio album was released in March 1973.
Side one is on par with his previous recordings of early 70s. It contains one of Baez’s best original songs, “A Young Gypsy” and two by her sister, “Mary Call” and “Best of Friends”.
The side-long title track on the other hand may be a bit challenging for the casual fan. It is a twenty minutes plus collage of sounds, words and -all the same- a sung chorus (They say that the war is done/But where are you now my son?) recorded duringen a week-long Christmas bombing campaign Baez and the peace delegation survived in Vietnam. Included on the recording are the voices of her companions; Barry Romo, Michael Allen and human rights attorney Telford Taylor.
Track List:
01. Only Heaven Knows (Ah, The Sad Wind Blows) – 2:36
02. Less Than A Song – 3:29
03. A Young Gypsy – 3:37
04. Mary Call – 3:34
05. Rider Pass By – 4:14
06. Best Of Friends – 3:05
07. Windrose – 3:43
08. Where Are You Now, My Son? – 21:44
