Fantastic musician

[www.yahoo.com]

Oh damn...he was an innovative maestro when it comes to stringed instruments...a truly unique wizard of a musician.
Along with Running on Empty and all the other classics, I also liked his solo material - especially El Rayo-X from 1981.

RIP David Lyndley

One of the coolest summer songs ever…. MERCURY BLUES

I did not really take notice of him until 1982 when "Your Old Lady" from the El Rayo-X album became a regular part of the Stones European tour pre-concert tape, so I dived deeper and became a fan!

Actually met him once in person, and guess where, out of all places, backstage at the Voodoo Lounge opening night in Washington DC (Nils Lofgren was also there btw). Talk about kinda Stones connection!

Anyway, not only a great musician, but also a nice and friendly human being has left us.

RIP, David.

Known primarily for his work with Jackson Browne, but his slide guitar and fiddle also gave the mid-1970s Crosby-Nash band its distinctive sound. He plays both on this one, "Take the Money and Run."

And wasn't he the one who used to wear a "Nasby & Crosh" t-shirt? You can still find replicas of it for sale online.

The last time I saw Jackson Browne in Tokyo, as it was right after Tom Petty passed away, the Waiting was the opening song of his show.
He will perform in Tokyo again this month, what song will he dedicate to Lindley?

He truly was a wizard. He’s credited with all the lead guitar on Warren Zevon’s “Detox Mansion.” Sounds like someone using a whammy bar, but I believe it was all done with a lap steel? Amazing.

Saw him once with El Rayo-X, as an opener for Joe Walsh, I think on '81.

I thought it was really cool but I felt sorry for them, the crowd disagreed and was quite rude, booing and throwing stuff at the stage. I really felt sorry for them.

Great song! Some smooth slide geetar! RIP David

oh my .((( sad news love his partnership with Browne and his solo stuff
RIP

RIP Mr. Dave.
Ram a Lamb a Man!

All So Simple

Lindsey plays steel on this Dead In Spain tune, LA staples on the club scene late 80s/90s

Lindley's playing on Jackson Browne's Running on Empty album was always the stand out on all of those tracks for me. Such a lyrical player. Thanks for the music.

RIP
