David Lindley Wife; Meet Joan Darrow,

Posted by Abbie Anker on Wednesday, May 22, 2024

The death of David Lindley has been announced. Mr. Dave was a musician’s musician who played with everyone from Johnny Cash to Bonnie Raitt, and he was everyone’s favorite.

David Lindley, a renowned session musician who played multiple instruments and was active in the industry throughout the ’70s and ’80s, passed away on March 22 at the age of 78. There was no mention of a fatal event.

There were reports that Lindley had been sick for months prior to his death today. He was 78.

Since the 1960s, Lindley has been in demand as a session musician thanks to his proficiency on the fiddle and guitar. He has worked with a wide variety of artists, including Jackson Browne, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Toto, Rod Stewart, and Joe Walsh.

Many people recall his delicate playing from back in the day, on those heartbreaking Jackson Browne albums, and of course, his long-time partnership with Ry Cooder was much loved, as the two of them mined a rich seam of music from all over the world.

Music from David’s band, El Rayo- X, such as “Mercury Blues” and “Quarter of a Man,” blew us all away.

He was the best at slide guitar, and he could also play the mandolin, bouzouki, Irish fiddle, Turkish oud, and just about any other stringed instrument you could name.

Tributes on Facebook;

We’ve lost another monumental artist: David Lindley has died.

I got to spend some time with David when I spent several weeks on tour with Jackson Browne while writing a Fretboard Journal cover story about Jackson. Three memories of David stand out.

David was always playing. Always. He didn’t even dine with the band so that he could play more. One afternoon just before soundcheck, David was playing an oud. “Want to play it, John?” David asked. I responded that I didn’t even know how the instrument was tuned. “Oh, it’s easy,” said David. These three strings are tuned like [some instrument I’d never heard of] and these three are tuned like [another instrument I’d never heard of].” No thanks, I said, afraid of embarrassing myself. How I wish I’d taken up David’s offer of a lesson.

Another day, I spent an hour, or so, passing a 1943 Banner Gibson SJ back and forth with David and Jackson. What a thrill. Somewhere, I’ve got a recording of that hour. I’ll search for it.

Finally, on the last night of my hang with David and Jackson, I was walking and talking with Jackson after that night’s show. Jackson and I walked past David’s dressing room. Yep, at nearly midnight, after playing one instrument or another all day and after a 2-hour concert with Jackson and band, David was in his dressing room, still playing. “If you want to be like David,” Jackson said, “that’s what you have to do.”

What a loss.
