Strangers in the Wind
Strangers in the Wind is a 1978 rock album by the Bay City Rollers. It was the group's sixth original studio album, and second consecutive disc to feature the production work of Harry Maslin, who produced hits for Air Supply. Early 1978 had seen the Rollers' most successful line-up as bassist Alan Longmuir, a founding member, re-joined the band after a two-year hiatus, now on rhythm guitar. The group timed the release of their new album to coincide with their very own network television series, The Krofft Superstar Hour Starring the Bay City Rollers, a Saturday morning NBC show. Unfortunately, the kiddie format did little to push record sales for the Rollers, who were over two years removed from their phenomenon stage. The lush, mature soft-rock of Strangers in the Wind did not find an audience, and each of three singles failed to hit the U.S. charts. The most successful single from the album, "Where Will I Be Now," was a minor hit in Germany.[2] The band hired Duncan Faure to replace Les McKeown, after trying it as a 4 piece band with no success, for 1979's Elevator. With Duncan as front man, the band continued on making 2 more albums, Voxx and Ricochet. (Bay City Rollers album)|Elevator]].
