DAVID LINDLEY R.I.P. 1944 - 2023
Notable session musician David Lindley, a multi-instrumentalist known for his prolific work and collaborations throughout the ’70s and ’80s, has died on March 3 at age 78, Rolling Stone confirmed. No cause of death was given. An active musician since the ’60s, Lindley was a popular session musician whose skillset when it came to playing string instruments like the fiddle and guitar made him a must-have collaborator for artists like Jackson Browne, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Toto, Rod Stewart and Joe Walsh.
Lindley stood out among the other session musicians, not only because of his impish demeanor, but also because of his raw talent. Known as one of the legendary rock and roll sidemen of his era, the musician played in Jackson Browne’s band for most of the ’80s, making a name for himself beyond the studio. In return, Browne produced Lindley’s 1983 album El Rayo-X. Ry Cooder enlisted him for “Jazz” and “Bop Till You Drop” in the late 1970s, sparking a collaboration that continued for decades; the pair would occasionally tour as a duo, with one of these ventures captured on the 2019 release “Cooder/Lindley Family Live at the Vienna Opera House.”
