David Lindley

David Lindley (born David Perry Lindley in San Marino, California, on 21 March 1944; died 3 March 2023) was an American musician notable for his work with Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, and other rock musicians. He worked extensively in other genres as well, performing with artists as varied as Curtis Mayfield and Dolly Parton. He 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 played were string instruments. They included (but were 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. Lindley was a founding member of the 1960s band Kaleidoscope.
