“The Fading Man” took over the car ‘round about Lascelles…
Such an honest offering: large on frankness, light on trite…
This new set is excitingly forthright & songs sear & dive deep into the consciousness.
For me, the album is beginning to rival “Since There Were Circles” which I have treasured & regard as Bob’s “best”.
Damn good set!
Damn good artist!

Have I said how much I like “How Can You Go?”. Tongue in cheek chauvinism raises its redneck here as Lind plays the imperfect man…we’ve all been there, brothers eh? Hmmm?
Brought me a smile as the autumn showers shook off summer in Sunraysia…
Now officially retired, saving my pennies for a world cruise 2024…hopefully including a visit to Florida where Lind may be gracing the stage locally.

“Born for this” is the correct song title - & Lind shows he is just that, a solid workout with glorious belief coursing through…
Post Covid (I hope) the roads have opened up & I ventured to Ouyen to the South…
My favourite roadside cafe has changed hands & is not the same place- oh well, maybe in time the soul of the place will return…
Looking forward to the next Bendigo trip - many of the grain silos have been decorated by local artists with images of pioneers & early settlers- women & men who found their way from the other side of the world to Australia’s shores - only one glitch - few images of indigenous Australians - something to address…
Homeward with “You Look Just Like A Girl Again”, Danny O’Keeffe’s tender observational reverence - Lind feels this, lives this, loves this…
Thanks Bob- kilometres are chewed up easily with the sound show.

“I Was Made For This” rings of assertion, even defiance as the artist stands tall & proclaims “This is me - this is who I am”.
The song’s strength smack of “single material”, if there’s still such things as singles!
Volume knob had to be flicked up to fill the car with the confident sound & testifying vocal call…
My company on a muggy day in the Mallee, as El Nina refuses to die & threatens even more rain and/or sweaty days for locals.

Cruising the River Road from Coomealla to Mildura, running beside the mighty Murray & “How Can You Go?” Lind ponders, outlining reasons to stay with the perfect man…

I’m really getting into the new “Something Worse than Loneliness” set & a glorious Sunraysia day is the perfect backdrop…

New Toyota RAV4 seems to enjoy the music too - quietly nosing its way along, demanding yet another song.

How about “Roll the Windows Down?” Sure, ain’t no breeze off the ocean but the song & day shake hands & demand more volume.

A joyous tune.

Plans in the making Grant…new car, new Lind music: Aussie roads, here we come!

“I can’t drive roads of anger, I ain’t got the rhyme…”

Have you had a chance to drive with the new one yet?

Unabashed emotional sharing..."Someone To Adore".

No deliberate honing of wordsmithmanship here: this is pure outpouring of genuine feeling.

Combined story lines with a common theme, a shared base: more than a nod of deep respect...

Lind recalls, compares, alludes, bleeds a little, reflects a lot - the lot of man unpeeled, indications of surprise at no surprise...

I have yet another new white work car, which offers me Lind a la USB...

A Dylan-like harmonica break suggests the singer is regrouping as his feelings surface and threaten to swell up and flood the moment...

I shared this one with a dot on the map called Boonoonara, just south of my new home Mildura.

Dumosa, in the rain.

Beautiful rain. Much needed rain. More to come, we 'opes...

And the man played on.....

A wistful, sighing reminiscence becomes a triumphant exultation, as Lind revisits and regenerates "May".

What was principally a longing is, with the passage of time, a declaration of success and joyful memory.

Upbeat, not introspective; salutary, not rueful; dreams realised, not dashed: the song rollicks along with a newly found verve and style, with a satisfied vocal coating all...

Life reconsidered? Memory reconstructed? Realisation late coming? Or merely attitude change?

Who knows - maybe the artists himself is lost in his "avalanche of words".

Great track - positive, rocking, made loud to be played loud...with superb harmonies from "The Lindettes". LOL.

Not a heck of a lot. Google tells me I should update the site design to make it more compatible with smart phones, so that's in store.

I hope your challenges were all overcome!

Always good go hear from you Danny. Sorry about the sadness in your family. Wishing you a happy holiday season.

How The Nights Can Fly...

Even more poignant with Richie's passing, the Live At Luna Star version is a classic rendition. I reckon...

Lind et al have supported the feeling and intent with appropriate backing and depth acoustically for the album "Finding You Again".

The vocal wraps around the lyric with the same respect and favour which carried the live take...

On the way back from Geelong, from a sobering hospital visit to a very ill family member, this song, like smoke through a keyhole, seeped into my senses.

One out of the box, both the song and the cut - suffers not at all in comparison with the live take.
