	Warren Zevon - The Wind (Album Review)
		A little more than a year ago, Warren Zevon was diagnosed with an untreatable form of lung cancer and was told that he had three months left to live.
		He survived long enough to see both the birth of his grandchildren as well the release his epitaph The Wind — a final hurrah that ranks among the singer’s finest recordings — before succumbing to his disease on Sunday, September 7 at the age of 56.
		Indeed, The Wind is an astounding effort, one that never strays from the artistic vision to which Zevon has clung since his blockbuster, major-label debut in 1976.

	Aeoliah : Love in the Wind - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Aeoliah's latest album is an unabashed hymn of praise to romance, in all its forms.
		In the liner notes he writes, "This music is not only for lovers with partners, but to awaken the romantic in you, that you may feel the love and answer the call of your heart." This album does indeed speak to the heart in a way that is truly feeling rather that merely sentimental.
		This is a warm tender album that manages to avoid the trap of excessive sweetness while still working its magic.

		What perhaps makes The Wind so successful as an album is that it is not, as some may have expected, an album full of sad and mournful goodbyes.
		If nothing else, The Wind is a reminder that sometimes bad can be the impetus for the creation of something so good, that even when the bad happens, we can wrap ourselves in the good and insulate ourselves from it.
		Warren Zevon may be gone, but his final album will live forever in the annals of rock music history, not just as a great album, but as the finest album released in the year 2003.

		The album ends with the title song, performed by all three groups together, which is also a terrific song (and has a nice joke at the end, if you can catch it).
		This album somehow manages to be both a wonderful folk music album and a parody of one, at the same time.
		While the movie A Mighty Wind may not be as funny as Christopher Guest's other movies (though I personally think it is), it might actually be a better movie, largely due to the...

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Ropin' The Wind
		All of which is a kind of necessary recap and preface to Ropin' The Wind, the album that consolidated Brooks' status as the leading country artist of the early 90s, and helped propel him from stardom to superstardom.
		It's an album filled with moments that both define the persona known as "GB" and illustrate the reasons he was able to cross over into mainstream appeal like no country artist had in a generation.
		Ropin' The Wind may just be the most consistent -- and consistently appealing -- album the man ever issued.

		Approaching Warren Zevon's latest and final album, The Wind, without considering the circumstances surrounding its evolution is an impossibility.
		Perhaps judging the album on its face value, without considering the fact that its author was coming to terms with a terminal case of cancer, then we might reach an alternative opinion.
		Any faults are forgiven as the majority of the album hits its mark, leaving behind a polished tribute to an already cemented legacy.

	Rolling Stone : Zevon Wraps Last "Wind"
		The Wind, an album Warren Zevon has been recording over the past several months as something of a musical epitaph, has been completed and is scheduled to be mixed this week with a release in August on Artemis Records, which has issued his previous two albums.
		Some of the songs seem to reflect Zevon's take on his condition: "Numb as a Statue" and the poignant album closer "Keep Me in Your Heart" ("Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath/Keep me in heart for a while/If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less").
		VH1 is also planning to air a special in August documenting the making of the album; a DVD is expected to follow.

		With the success of his first albums firmly establishing his marketability, there was speculation that this third entrie into the Garth franchise would have difficulty beating the records set by "Garth Brooks" and "No Fences".
		Who would have guessed that this album would, in fact, be his most successful and largest grossing album of them all.
		In all, "Ropin the Wind" is powerful, highly-stylized, and definitely one of the pinnacle albums in Garth's career.

	Warren Zevon : The Wind - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		With a back story like that, it's all but impossible to ignore the subtext of Zevon's mortality while listening to The Wind, though, thankfully, he's opted not to make an album about illness or death (ironically, he already did that with 2000's Life'll Kill Ya) or create a musical last will and testament.
		And remarkably, the trick works on several cuts; Bruce Springsteen's rollicking guest vocal on "Disorder in the House" offers just the kick the tune needed, Tom Petty's laid-back smirk brings a sleazy undertow to "The Rest of the Night," and Dwight Yoakam's harmonies on "Dirty Life and Times" are the perfect touch for the tune.
		The Wind feels less like a grand final statement of Warren Zevon's career than one last walk around the field, with the star nodding to his pals, offering a last look at what he does best, and quietly but firmly leaving listeners convinced that he exits the game with no shame and no regrets.

	A Hawk And A Hacksaw - The Way The Wind Blows : album review
		For Barnes, albums recorded as A Hawk And A Hacksaw in France and the Czech Republic were released before his return to his home town 10 years later, where he found violinist Heather Trost playing transplanted traditional Jewish music with the Nahalot Shalom Community Orchestra.
		An album of many moods and surprising turns, The Way The Wind Blows nears soundtrack-waiting-to-happen territory, but only because of its evocative range of emotions.
		The Way The Wind Blows is a celebration of collaborative willingness to experiment with fusing and developing traditional music forms, that are little heard in Anglophonic countries, to express emotion.

		It is believed the album was finished by December 1977, however nothing was heard until test pressings of the 'Give to the Wind' LP were distributed to Warner Bros executives in March 78.
		A second test pressing of 'Give to the Wind' was subsequently issued - some with normal stock copy labels (as opposed to plain white with a photocpy A4 sheet).

	Amazon.com: The Wind: Music: Warren Zevon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		However, on The Wind, these songs are genuinely touching, the work of a guy deadened by meds but unwilling to surrender to The Big Sleep just yet.
		The album's final song is "Keep Me in Your Heart." It's opening pays homage to Dylan's _Time Out of Mind_: "Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath." This song absolutely destroys me, tears flow free, beyond mere watery eyes.
		To this day, it sounds to me as fairly standard Rock 'N Roll, by a guy with a good voice, with some very melancholic lyrics in general, most likely due to the fact that he was close to dying as he recorded these songs.

	The Wind Chimes - Mike Oldfield - Music Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The video companion to Mike Oldfield's 1988 Islands album, The Wind Chimes offers up all but the LP's "hidden track" for visual interpretation -- and does so with an eye for computer technology that, at the time, placed Oldfield's vision firmly on the "cutting edge" of the day.
		Switch off the hindsight button and enjoy it for what it's worth, however, and The Wind Chimes is as colorful as it is intriguing.
		The 20-minute title track is the most abstract, a host of images that range from flying femurs to sea-shell skulls, boiling cloud scenes and deep space imaginings.

		On this recording, the tracks are just acoustic guitar and vocal, (which explains the title of the EP), sketches of what these songs became on the fully-produced Bet on the Wind.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Peter, Paul and Mary - 1963 - In the Wind Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		"Blowin' In the Wind" was the song that first got my attention and soon led me to everything else that Peter, Paul and Mary ever did and would do; it also led me to folk music in general, and to Bob Dylan in particular.
		A few years later, when I began playing folk guitar and doing a few amateur performances of folk songs, "Blowin' In the Wind" is the one song I would always do that people would always at least join in with the chorus, and that is due to PP & M’s popularization of the song.
		In the Wind is one of Peter, Paul and Mary’s best albums and is certainly historically important primarily for introducing Bob Dylan to a wider audience.

		One track on the album, "Push," out and out samples Sting's "Every Breath You Take." That's what I call a nice friend, since Sting usually demands 100 percent of the publishing rights when other artists do that.
		There's none of the grenade-throwing politics that got her in trouble last time out with "American Life," her lowest-selling album and a total bust for her and for Warner Music Group.
		Harrison shines all the way through the show, and it's worth watching all the DVD extras to know what was going on behind the scenes as he was planning the show.

	Warren Zevon's sad, sweet final album. - By Bill Barol - Slate Magazine
		It's not surprising that this part of Zevon's sensibility is front and center on The Wind (Artemis Records), or that the project carries with it a valedictory air.
		Even funny and very Zevonesque tropes like "I'm sprawled across the davenport of despair" are mounted in a setting of creeping decay ("Disorder in the House," with a raging guitar lead by Bruce Springsteen).
		The other, oddly enough, is Zevon's down-the-middle cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." It's the record's most overt nod to Zevon's illness, but lyrics like "That long fl cloud is comin' down/ I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door" fall with a clang here.

	Karla Bonoff: Restless Nights
		True, leadoff track "Trouble Again" was a gem (as Linda Ronstadt proved when she recorded it on her Cry Like A Rainstorm - Howl Like The Wind album in 1989), but some of the other material was only pedestrian.
		As usual, half of L.A. was playing and singing on the record, which meant that you got people like Don Henley and James Taylor for your money.
		But Restless Nights did not represent the leap in quality that would have been required to vault Bonoff into the ranks of her star friends (it didn't have a big hit single, either), and so, instead of providing a consolidation of her reputation, it caused a rethinking of career direction reflected on her third album.

		And while the barbs he aims at an unforgiving world cut that much deeper, and his paeans to lost romance ring with extra pangs of urgency and regret, Zevon hasn't lost his cynical edge on The Wind.
