David Lindley 3/21/1944 – 3/3/2023
David Perry Lindley (March 21, 1944 – March 3, 2023) was an American musician who founded the band El Rayo-X and worked with many other performers including Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Warren Zevon, Curtis Mayfield and Dolly Parton. He mastered such a wide variety of instruments that Acoustic Guitar magazine referred to him not as a multi-instrumentalist but instead as a “maxi-instrumentalist.”
