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

We close out this amazing album with a powerful and seamless 11-minute blend of three tracks: 7. ‘Unquiet Slumber for the Sleepers…, 8. … in that Quiet Earth,’ and 9. Afterglow.

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.

We open side B with Genesis’ take on a children’s story in which Phil takes center stage — track 5, “All in a Mouse’s Night.”

We close out side A with what might be Phil’s inspiration to get into pop ballads, the beautiful track 3, “Your Own Special Way,” followed by the cool instrumental jam “Wot Gorilla.”

In this episode, we listen to the opening track, “Eleventh Earl of Mar.” Apparently, Mike Rutherford had been reading about the Scottish Jacobite uprising of 1715, and John Erskine, the 11th Earl of Mar. It’s a cool jam, too.
