The Album
The album contains four songs, all with the word "wind" in the title. The album was recorded in 2000 as part of a special offer of Italian based "Wind Telecommunications"[2][3] which consisted of a package including a phone card and this album.
The Wind Cries Mary is a cover of the rock ballad written by Jimi Hendrix and released by the Jimi Hendrix Experience as the band's third single on May 5, 1967.[4]
Blowin 'in the Wind is a cover of the song written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and released on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in 1963. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind".[5]
Ride Like the Wind is a cover of a song by American singer-songwriter Christopher Cross. It was released in February 1980 as the lead single from his Grammy-winning self-titled debut album.[6]
Gone with the Wind is the cover of a popular song written by Allie Wrubel and Herb Magidson in 1937 and sung by Horace Heidt.[7][8]
