About David Lindley
Artist Biography
One of the most distinctive and talented instrumentalists of his time, David Lindley was best known as a first-call sideman, working his magic for Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Warren Zevon, and dozens of other major artists. Lindley was proficient on steel guitar, fiddle, banjo, saz, bouzouki, and many other instruments, and his soloing had a sense of depth and drama few others could match. He also had a noteworthy solo career, recording a handful of albums with his band El Rayo-X, whose greasy mix of rock, reggae, and world music drove albums like 1981's El Rayo-X and 1988's Very Greasy. From the '90s onward, Lindley explored a range of world music forms with like-minded artists such as Henry Kaiser (1992's A World Out of Time), Hani Naser (1994's Official Bootleg #1: Live in Tokyo Playing Real Good), and Wally Ingram (2000's Twango Bango Deluxe).
