Southwind was an American, country-rock band formed in the late 1960s. Known for their blend of rock, country, and folk elements, they were part of the Southern California country-rock scene, alongside bands like the Eagles and Poco. Notable band members included John Martin, who later joined the Eagles. Despite their relatively brief existence, Southwind's albums like "Ready to Ride" and "What a Place to Land" have been influential in the country-rock genre.
