Running Like the Wind is The Marshall Tucker Band's ninth studio album (including the band's 1978 compilation, Greatest Hits) with its title track, "Running Like the Wind," being one of the band's most popular songs. The more jazzy "Last of the Singing Cowboys" was the single from the album, reaching #42 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It is their first album recorded for Warner Bros. after the collapse of Capricorn Records.
In contrast to the band's earlier albums, the sound of Running Like the Wind draws from pop rock.[1]Jazz fusion also plays a part of the album's sound.[1]
