'Something Worse Than Loneliness' is Bob Lind’s third album
of new material in the past decade, following 2012’s 'Finding
You Again' and 2016’s 'Magellan Was Wrong'. Both of those
records served to reintroduce many of us to Lind. We
remembered him from his smash 1966 folk-rock hit ‘Elusive
Butterfly’ and oft-covered classics such as ‘Cheryl’s Goin’
Home’, but what we discovered was that his new work was just
as potent – even more so, perhaps – as those earlier releases.
? 'Something Worse Than Loneliness' takes Lind to the next
level, at a time when most of his contemporaries have long ago
lost their mojo. From the title track, through such gems as
‘Terry’s Song (Just Right)’, ‘My Satellite’ and the album-closing
‘Born For This’, which, says Lind, 'expresses why a 79 year-
old guy keeps putting it out there', this new collection is a gift
that gives more with each new listening. In ‘Leave Me Alone’,
an entire life is encapsulated into just a few short minutes. Or
how about ‘Back To Me In Memphis’, with its vivid references
to the historic city’s landmarks and heroic people, all within a
mini-tale so personal and vibrant you might forget you’re not
standing on Beale Street as you listen. The album’s one cover
song, Danny O’Keefe’s ‘You Look Just Like A Girl Again’, is so
tender and open you’ll want to give it a big hug. Really, you
can take your pick – there isn’t a song here that doesn’t hit you
where you live.
