I have been a huge David Lindley fan since I first heard him on Jackson Browne's 'Running on Empty' cut 'Stay'. His plaintive falsetto "Oh, won't you stay ... just a little bit longer" always cracked me up. Then I learned how great a musician he was, and bought all his albums. His 'Mercury Blues' cover even made it on 'Miami Vice' in the late 80s. It wasn't until the early 2000s that I ever got to see him live, once with Jackson Browne, and twice as a solo. An Incredible talent and unique persona, he will be missed.
RIP David Lindley
Lindley was brilliant with multiple instruments, best known for his work with Jackson Browne and his own band El-Rayo X. I was lucky to see him a few times, including a great show in the 80s, when he was having a big moment. In person he was funny, eccentric, and endlessly musically inventive. And of course that Nasby & Crosh t-shirt!
