Finding You Again

2012 release, the first studio album in more than 40 years from the reclusive folk-rock singer/songwriter Bob Lind - he of the classic 1966 megahit 'Elusive Butterfly'. Finding You Again demonstrates conclusively that genius can continue to flourish, even into an artist's advancing years. Long known by music-business insiders for his self-destructive battles with the record industry, Bob Lind was, by his own admission, "poison to work with". Now, thanks to veteran rock guitarist/producer Jamie Hoover, he has emerged with an album of new music that proves his craftsmanship has not only held up but improved and evolved since the '60s. The 13-song disc easily bypasses the criticism sometimes levied at singer/songwriters: that their songs all sound the same. Just contrast the rough-rocking self-condemnation of 'How Dare You Love Me' and the poignant, tentative soul-searching of 'Maybe It's the Rain'. Each song is different from the others, yet all contain the special stamp of one of America's most passionate songwriters.
