Winds of Change is the seventh album by Jefferson Starship and was released in 1982. It was the first studio album produced after Grace Slick rejoined the band as a full member. Aynsley Dunbar plays drums on the album, but was replaced by Donny Baldwin for the supporting tour. The album reached number 26 on the Billboard charts.
Cash Box called the title track "concisely crafted" and called the song a return to Jefferson Airplane's style.[1]
The LP produced two U.S. Top 40 singles: "Be My Lady" in the fall of 1982 (#28), and "Winds of Change" in the winter of 1983 (#38).
