In the Wind is the third album by the American folk music trio Peter, Paul & Mary, released in 1963. In the Wind was so successful that when it hit #1 on the Billboard album charts, it caused their two previous albums to re-enter the Top 10 as well. At this point in musical history the folk music revival was in full flower.

The lead-off single of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” became world famous when it sold a phenomenal three hundred thousand copies in the first week of release. On July 13, 1963, it reached number two on the Billboard pop chart, with sales exceeding one million copies. It spent five weeks atop the easy listening chart. The second single from the album, “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”, another song by Dylan, peaked at number 2 on the Adult Contemporary chart and number 9 on the Pop Singles chart. At the Grammy Awards of 1964, their recording of “Blowin’ in the Wind” won the Best Folk Recording and Best Performance by a Vocal Group.

“Their third recording was one of the group’s stronger outings…the dramatic, strident, but inspirational “Very Last Day” is one of the best original tunes the group ever did.” -Richie Unterberger, allmusic.com
