Blowin' Away [SEP] record label
Blowin' Away
Blowin' Away was a 1977 album by Joan Baez, her first after switching from A&M Records to Portrait Records (a then newly created division of CBS Records). 
Overview.
The album veered more toward mainstream pop than any album Baez had recorded up to that point, though many critics at the time pointed out that she seemed not entirely comfortable with her "new sound". Among the songs covered were the Rod Stewart hit "Sailing", and the standard "Cry Me a River
the highest selling of Baez's career and included a second top-ten single in the form of the title track.
After "Gulf Winds" (1976), an album of entirely self-composed songs and "From Every Stage" (1976), a live album that had Baez performing songs "from every stage" of her career, Baez again parted ways with a record label when she moved to CBS Records for "Blowin' Away" (1977) and "Honest Lullaby" (1979).
