《Blowin'in the Wind》是美国民谣史上最重要的作品之一，原作者是被公认为民谣一代宗师的Bob Dylan。《Blowin'in the Wind》写于1964年，这也是被称为“美国民谣摇滚之父”的Bob Dylan所有创作歌曲中最优秀、最出名的一首。60年代中后期，Bob Dylan的乐风突然发生了重大变化，从此他的歌曲不再被称为民谣而成了“民谣摇滚”。如果说猫王在50年代赋予摇滚乐以生命，那么也可以说鲍勃.迪伦在60年代赋予了摇滚乐以灵魂。 ——百度百科
虽然《Blowin'in the Wind》是由Bob Dylan创作的，却经由Peter, Paul & Mary翻唱后走红。同时《Blowin'in the Wind》因在电影《阿甘正传》中出现过，被收录到了专辑《Forrest Gump（The Soundtrack)》中，不过是Dylan曾经的女友Joan Baez的版本。
