Notes About This Song
“Any Way the Wind Blows” was originally recorded at Studio Z in the early ‘60s by Frank and an ever-shifting squad of musicians called The Soots, along with an instrumental piece called “Never on Sunday” (later retitled “Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance”). Both were turned down by Dot Records. Milt Rogers, the label’s A&R man, told Frank that the distorted guitar would hinder -- you guessed it -- the songs’ “commercial potential.”
