By 2004, Bob Lind had been out of the public music lane for decades, still writing, but avoiding recording and the whole music industry… His old pal Arlo Guthrie invited him to play the Guthrie Center in Becket, MA. That show was a switch-flip that put Bob Lind back onstage. #BobLind #OneHitWondered

Bob Lind should be in every folk-rock ‘origins’ convo... Not a household name, Bob helped bring mid-‘60s coffeehouse folk onto AM radio. He wasn’t the first folk-rock hitmaker (the Byrds beat him to it), but he’s an early example of introspective singer/songwriter folk. #BobLind #OneHitWondered

Bob Lind is mostly remembered, if at all, for his 1966 smash “Elusive Butterfly.” But dig a little deeper and his story gets a lot more interesting: a flash of superstardom, a run of cult-classic albums, and a surprising pivot into literature… and tabloid ‘news.’ #BobLind #OneHitWondered

Does this sort of thing sound familiar? Bob Lind & arranger Jack Nitzsche thought “Cheryl’s Goin’ Home” would be the hit single, and parked “Elusive Butterfly” on the B-side… An on-air personality in Florida turned it over, and “Elusive Butterfly” took flight. #BobLind #JackNitsche #OneHitWondered

“Elusive Butterfly” also featured noted banjo player/iconic photographer Henry Diltz… who was then a member of the Modern Folk Quartet. Diltz was brought in for his specific folk-influenced sound on the banjo, which complemented Lind's acoustic guitar. #HenryDiltz #BobLind #OneHitWondered
