Midnight Wind - Jon Stewart

Another one from his 1979 Album Bomb's Away Dream Babies. Stevie Nicks sings background just as in his megahit Gold. There is a subgenre here that includes Nicks's stuff, Fleetwood Mac's material from this time, and probably others. It's all about what the 70s were in pop, aside from disco and stuff that was going on with Soul and R&B.  The soft rock that was happening in the US was strongly country and folk influenced and had to do with the post-60s disillusionment and loss of vision and direction. It was a turning inward.
