"Singer-songwriter Bob Lind will forever be remembered for the 1965 hit 'Elusive Butterfly,' but his career is so much more interesting than the fading wonder of that one song. Once a hard-partying buddy of Charles Bukowski, Lind was the inspiration for the character 'Dinky Summers,' a down-on-his-luck folk singer in Bukowski's 1978 novel
Women
. Lind also doubled as a writer, penning a number of novels and plays as well as serving as a long-time staff writer at the lowbrow tabloid Weekly World News. If that wasn't enough, Lind is also responsible for one of the greatest major-label 'loner' albums of all time, 1971's
Since There Were Circles
. After several years languishing without a second hit for the World Pacific label, Lind signed to Capitol and went into the studio with some of the biggest names in the LA country-rock scene including Doug Dillard, Gene Clark, Bernie Leadon and legendary session bassist Carol Kaye. While the record was well-received critically, it sold poorly and marked Lind's bitter departure from the music business for several decades. The intervening half-century has been incredibly kind to
Since There Were Circles
, and it is now regarded as a cult masterpiece that pairs perfectly with Gene Clark's
No Other
, Bobby Charles' self-titled Bearsville album and Lee Hazlewood's
Cowboy in Sweden
. Lind's songwriting here is vastly darker and more self-reflective than anything from his folk-pop period, and the production is simultaneously loose and rootsy, yet lushly orchestrated and occasionally bombastic. Lind somehow manages to bring it all together with wry delivery and literate detail."
