The 45th stop on our album-listening voyage is “Wind and Wuthering,” the 8th studio album by Genesis. Wind and Wuthering was the second album that Genesis published in 1976 (Trick of the Tail was published early in the year), and was also the second — and last — release by the band as a four-piece. The two albums are a fantastic duo. We listened to A Trick of the Tail in volume 20, and you can watch us listen to Trick of the Tail here: https://youtu.be/M_ZqxJ46j3s
In this episode, we listen to one of the most sublime songs ever, track 6, “Blood on the Rooftops.” A Steve Hackett composition, this track demonstrates Hackett’s unique contributions to the ensemble, and the fact that more Hackett compositions were not included on the album was a major reason that he left the band after the album’s release.
