After an album rooted in 1960s soul music, Are You Passionate?, and the musical novel Greendale, Prairie Wind features an acoustic-based sound reminiscent of his earlier commercially successful albums Harvest and Harvest Moon. The album's songs find Young pondering his own mortality, as he was undergoing treatment for an aneurysm during the album's production. Songs were also inspired by the extended illness of his father, Canadian sportswriter and novelist Scott Young, who passed a few weeks after the album was completed. The album is dedicated in part to the elder Young.
