Let the Four Winds Blow was Tenpole Tudor's second album and the follow-up to Eddie, Old Bob, Dick and Gary. Despite featuring the minor hit "Throwing My Baby Out With the Bath Water" (#49 in November 1981^[2]) the album and the follow-up single (the title track Let the Four Winds Blow) both failed to chart. It would be 27 years before the next album, Made it this Far would be released.
