Product Description

From Amazon.com
You could have some fun with the title in more suggestive times, but In the Wind refers here to the popular trio's classic recording of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind." Interestingly, their recording did as much for Dylan's career as it did for PP&M's, for, while it sealed their image as the troubadours of the '60s civil rights movement, it helped posit the then-little-known Dylan as the voice of a generation. Other highlights here include their gorgeous interpretation of Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" as well as spirituals, a lullaby, and even a Civil War ballad. It may all seem quaint now, but when this LP reached No. 1 in 1963, only weeks after John F. Kennedy's assassination, the folk movement was in full throttle...and something was definitely in the air. Or in the wind, so to speak. --Bill Holdship

5.0 out of 5 stars PP&M's number one album introduces Dylan to America, 21 Jan 2004
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
"In the Wind" was the third album put out by Peter, Paul & Mary and was so successful that when it hit #1 on the Billboard album charts it dragged their two previous albums back into the Top 10 as well. The album was released in October 1963, which meant is was only a month before the assassination of JFK and a few months before the arrival of the Beatles heralded the British Invasion. But at this point in musical history the folk music revival was in full flower.

The first two singles from this album were also what popularized the music of Bob Dylan. "Blowin' in the Wind" made it to #2 on the charts while "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" made it to #9. PP&M also recorded a third and unreleased Dylan song, "Quit Your Low Down Ways." Their cover of "Stewball" was the third single released and made it to #35. The fourth single from the album, "Tell It on the Mountain" (#33), is an alternative version of the African-American spiritual "Go Tell It on the Mountain," that shifts the meaning from the Nativity of Jesus to the Exodus, with the refrain "Let my people go" easily adaptable to the Civil Rights movement.

Two of the other standout songs are the haunting traditional tune "All My Trials," and the opening track, "Very Last Day," which is a rare original song by the group. The only knock against PP&M is that they are popularizers of folk music rather than musical innovators, but when you listen to their three part harmonies and the earnestness they provide to each performance (in contrast to the peppy sound of groups like the New Christie Minstrels), that hardly seems to be negative idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best, 28 Oct 2003
By Roy Burfoot (Norwich, Norfolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
They often say that a group's third album is likely to be their best and in the case of P,P & M this is most certainly true. The two previous releases are memorable and they did good work thereafter, but for me In the Wind has to be not only their best, but one of the best albums of all time. With both traditional and contemporary songs, it includes the finest versions of Blowing in the Wind and Don't Think Twice ever recorded and heralded in a new era when "folk" was cool and the words of pop songs began to mean something.

Would Dylan have succeeded without this introduction? What about Donovan, James Taylor, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, et al? No one can tell, but it was certainly In the Wind that opened the door.

Something else, it is still as impressive now as it was then, play it!
