Lovely work Peter.
David Lindley is one of those artists where everyone has heard his work, but very few know who he is.
For those unfamiliar, another wonderful video to watch is Jackson Browne and David Lindley performing "Call It a Loan". Search YouTube.
Thanks Doug. And you're right. His sound was so integral to early Jackson Browne both in the studio and on stage that it's hard to separate them but he and Jackson both played heavily into the early Warren Zevon records as well. I saw Lindley play with Jackson in '88 at what was then Irvine Meadows for a fantastic show with some of the best live sound I have ever heard and then heard Lindley play a small solo show at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica where he drank Jolt on stage and talked more about Warren than himself. We don't get too many true musical geniuses these days but Lindley is one who more than fits the bill, and when he teamed up with Ry Cooder, well, it was just game over. Hard to say whether the collaboration with Ry or with Jackson were more influential but they're all worth listening to.
