Product Description

Album Description

A star of the mid 60's US folk rock boom hitting the top 5 in America with his own song Elusive Butterfly . This song was then covered by many other artists around the world, as were later songs by the likes of the Turtles, Noel Harrison, Nancy Sinatra and Bobby Sherman, including Cheryl's Going Home (the Blues Project), Counting (Marianne Faithfull), and Mr. Zero (Yardbirds' lead singer Keith Relf).

Emerging from the folk clubs of mid America, Lind hooked up with Jack Nitzsche, playing guitar on Nitzsche sessions for Liberty Records, before scoring his own hit single. In a way unfortunately for Lind he was then widely touted as "the new Bob Dylan" and the latest spokesperson for youth during 1966; as is the way of the music industry, an impossible tag to live up to and rather overshadowing Lind's fine recorded works that followed.

In 1970 Lind recorded "Since There Were Circles", released in 1971 on Capitol Records in the US, with sadly limited availability elsewhere. It is another excellent collection of sensitive folk rock songs and pretty melodies, boasting special backing from guests Rod Dillard, Doug Dillard and Gene Clark. A rare and sought after album (around $200 on recent search) this the first time the album has been reissued, and is enhanced by the inclusion of four bonus tracks being supplied directly by Bob. (trivia note these tracks are being mixed, and the album re-mastered by Lind's present near-neighbour in Florida, Aerovon - Tom Hartman.)

Today, Bob is a writer with five novels to his name, but his music has not been forgotten and Richard Hawley, High Llamas and Pulp number amongst his contemporary fans. (Pulp even recorded a song "Bob Lind").

1.0 out of 5 stars Guess why it took so long for this album to be re-released, 27 Jul 2007
Because it sounds dreadful. Which is almost certainly why it had limited release outside of the US - no-one else was interested. I find it hard to believe that this record came out in 1971. The vocal delivery and lyrics sound unbelievably dated for the time. 71 is often considered a nadir in terms of rock (and associated) music and 'Since There Were Circles' certainly contributes to that idea. At the time of writing, none of the tracks were available for preview, presumably because hearing the songs beforehand would not encourage sales. Albums like this are not the reason that vaults were invented, but they are the reason that they should be kept locked.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine album to these listening ears..., 22 Feb 2009
By James Mcintyre "jamesmcintyre42" (St Neots Cambridgeshire England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To my ears this is an excellent record certainly not dated for the time..strong songs like City Scenes Loser Sweet Harriet..well they are all good and Theme from the Music Box is one of the most beautiful songs ive heard both lyrically and musically...plus you get Gene Clark on harmonica Doug Dillard on banjo and Bernie Leadon on guitar..this guy made 2 great albums in the 60s..why would he suddenly make a dud three years later?
