In 1967 Circus Maximus released THE WIND. The title song achieved some success on underground radio. Its jazzy cadence and 8-minute length assured its failure to cross-over onto mainstream radio. After a month-long stint at the electric Circus on St. mark's Place the band appeared at Carnegie Hall. The show was far from a success and the band broke up, freeing lead singer Jerry Jeff walker to pursue a solo career highlighted by hits such as MR. BOJANGLES and UP AGAINST THE WALL REDNECK MOTHERFUCKER.
THE WIND remains a gem.
