David Lindley - El Rayo-X (1981)

David Perry Lindley (born March 21, 1944 in San Marino, California) is an American musician who is notable for his work with Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, and other rock musicians. He has worked extensively in other genres as well, performing with artists as varied as Curtis Mayfield and Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Terry Reid, Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart. He has also collaborated with fellow guitarists Ry Cooder and Henry Kaiser.

He has mastered such a wide variety of instruments that Acoustic Guitar magazine referred to Lindley, not as a multi-instrumentalist, but instead as a "maxi-instrumentalist" in a cover story about his career to date in 2005. The majority of the instruments that Lindley plays are string 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.

In this 1981 debut solo album, El Rayo-X, David Lindley’s guitar playing and unique sound is unmistakable throughout. This album an absolute pleasure from start to finish, creating a blues, rock, reggae type sound that is distinctively his own.
