David Lindley (born March 21, 1944 in San Marino, California) is an American musician whose work is most often remembered for his association and work with Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, and other rock musicians of fame, although he has also worked extensively in other genres as well. He has mastered such a wide variety instruments, that Acoustic Guitar Magazine referred to Lindley as a "maxi-instrumentalist" in a cover story on his work.[1] The majority of the instruments that Lindley plays are stringed instruments. They include but are not limited to the acoustic and electric guitar, upright and electric bass guitar, banjo, lap steel guitar, mandolin, hardingfele, bouzouki, cittern, bağlama, gumbus, charango, cümbüş, oud, weissenborn, and zither. Lindley has performed as a member of the band Kaleidoscope, served as bandleader of his own band El Rayo-X, and has been hired to serve in that capacity for other artists on tour.[1] He is noted as one of the premiere session musicians today. In addition, he uses his talents to score music to film and has worked extensively in that capacity as well.
[edit] Career[edit] Early workDuring 1966 to 1970 Lindley was part of the eclectic psychedelic band Kaleidoscope. Between his work in the studio as a session musician or on tour as a sideman or bandleader, Lindley has worked on learning new instruments. He was bandleader of his own rock band, El Rayo X, from 1981-1983, which produced three albums. [edit] Work with other artists Lindley is particularly well-known for his work as a session musician, especially for rock musicians. Aside from his own solo and band efforts, it is difficult to list all the musicians who have collaborated with Lindley. He has contributed his talents to recordings and live performances by: Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, Curtis Mayfield, James Taylor, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Terry Reid, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart. He has also collaborated with fellow guitarists Ry Cooder and Henry Kaiser. Artist Ben Harper has credited Lindley's distinctive slide guitar style as a major influence on his own playing and in 2006 Lindley sat in on Harper's album Both Sides of the Gun. He is known among the guitar community for his use of "cheap" instruments sold at Sears department stores and intended for amateurs. He uses these for the unique sound they produce, especially with a slide. In the early 1990s, he toured and recorded with Hani Naser adding percussive instruments to his solo performances, and his instrumental repertoire which he uses in his session work. In recent years, Lindley has also toured extensively and recorded with reggae percussionist Wally Ingram. It is his touring around the world that has exposed him to part of his array of instruments that appear exotic to many Western audiences.
[edit] InstrumentsLindley has an extremely large collection of rare, and to the majority of Westerners, unusual looking and sounding instruments. There is a large and detailed display of quite a few rare guitars, as well as instruments that originate from the Middle East and other parts of the world. Lindley has listed and categorized many of them on his website[3] but admits that he has "absolutely no idea", how many instruments he owns and plays, having gathered them since the 1960s.[1] [edit] Solo discography (excerpts)
