Blowing in the Wind (album)
Introduction '''''Blowing in the Wind''''' is an album by jazz saxophonist Lou Donaldson recorded for the Cadet label in 1966 and performed by Donaldson with pianist Herman Foster, bassist  Sam Jones, drummer Idris Muhammad and percussionist Richard Landrum.
Reception The album was awarded 3 stars in an Allmusic review by Jason Ankeny who states "''Blowing in the Wind'' is perhaps the most curious and oddly compelling of the dates Lou Donaldson cut for Cadet during his mid-'60s exile from the Blue Note stable — a mish-mash of contemporary pop hits, stage favorites, and standards all packaged in a bizarrely Picasso-like cover, the record's inconsistencies and contradictions make for an experience that's unique even in the context of Esmond Edwards erratic and eclectic oeuvre".
