Long unavailable in legitimate physical and digital editions, these recordings capture Stewart at a particularly distinctive point in his solo career, combining the narrative instincts of his folk background with polished pop-rock arrangements and an individualistic approach to songwriting and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBombs Away Dream Babies\u003c\/i\u003e became an international success and contains some of Stewart's best-known solo recordings, including 'Gold,' 'Lost Her in the Sun' and 'Midnight Wind.' Its songs move naturally between folk-rooted storytelling and the expansive sound of late-1970s California pop-rock, with Stewart's writing remaining firmly at the center. \u003ci\u003eDream Babies Go Hollywood\u003c\/i\u003e followed in 1980. Although it failed to duplicate its predecessor's commercial performance, the album developed an enduring reputation among listeners who regarded its songwriting and performances as worthy of reconsideration. Heard together, the two records reveal a remarkably cohesive period in Stewart's career, connected by their 'Dream Babies' imagery as well as their musical ambition and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 22-track collection ranges from familiar material such as 'Gold,' 'Midnight Wind,' 'Hollywood Dreams' and 'Monterey' to songs including 'Odin (Spirit of the Water),' 'The Raven,' 'Moonlight Rider' and 'Children of the Morning.' Two unreleased recordings from the \u003ci\u003eBombs Away Dream Babies\u003c\/i\u003e sessions further expand the program. Across approximately 76 minutes, Stewart's distinctive fusion of folk and pop-rock demonstrates why these RSO recordings remain a central part of his solo legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBear Family Records' edition restores both albums to circulation as a single-CD Digipak and complements the music with a substantial 36-page booklet. Following the label's previous archival work with Stewart's solo catalog and his recordings with the Kingston Trio, \u003ci\u003eMidnight Wind: Classic RSO Recordings\u003c\/i\u003e offers both longtime listeners and newcomers an opportunity to reassess two closely related albums from an important period in the career of an uncompromising American singer-songwriter.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eGold\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLost Her In The Sun\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eRunaway Fool Of Love\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSomewhere Down The Line\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMidnight Wind\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eOver The Hill\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Spinnin' Of The World\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eComin' Out Of Nowhere\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHeart Of The Dream\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHand Your Heart To The Wind\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHollywood Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWind On The River\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWheels Of Thunder\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMonterey\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eOdin (Spirit Of The Water)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLady Of Fame\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Raven\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLove Has Tied My Wings\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eNightman\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMoonlight Rider\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eChildren Of The Morning\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHard Time Town\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bear Family Records\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Folk\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76:00 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\/06\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4000127177599\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"BEARFAMILY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48897725366521,"sku":"BCD17759","price":15.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/BCD17759.jpg?v=1787688137","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/john-stewart-midnight-wind-classic-rso-recordings-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
