Update March 3, 2023: Acclaimed musician and songwriter David Lindley has died after reportedly being in ill health for several months. He was 78. The cause of death was not revealed.

He was known for his startling, wide-screen musicality, was conversant on dozens of stringed instruments, and was one of the progenitors of world music. From his distinctive lap steel work on Jackson Browne’s early records to his own explorations of the music of Turkey, Madagascar, Jamaica, and Greece — to name but a few musical cultures he studied and mastered — Lindley has influenced countless musicians and songwriters around the world for more than five decades. He was born in San Marino, California in 1944.

After leaving Kaleidoscope, he went on to become an in-demand studio musician, working with Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton, Rod Stewart, Warren Zevon, and many others.

But Lindley is most inextricably linked to Jackson Browne, who helped bring him into the mainstream consciousness, beginning with 1973’s “For Everyman.” By the mid-1970s Lindley’s soaring, melodic lap steel slide guitar was suddenly everywhere, as Browne scored a string of hits, including “These Days,” “Redneck Friend,” “The Pretender,” “Running on Empty,” “The Load Out/Stay,” and “That Girl Could Sing.

Linda Ronstadt's 1976 third straight million-selling album is “Hasten Down The Wind.” David Lindley on lap steel guitar sings Warren Zevon's composition Poor Poor Pitiful Me. David Lindley is Linda Ronstadt's cousin and was a member of her touring band. As a session musician, Lindley worked extensively with Linda Ronstadt tribute participants Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon.

Hasten Down The Wind album earned Linda Ronstadt a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in 1977, her second of 11 Grammys. A Tribute To The Music Of Linda Ronstadt was live in concert at The Theater at Ace Hotel, Los Angeles, CA on December 11, 2016.

100% of the concert proceeds will benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for the cure of Parkinson's Disease. After being diagnosed four years ago, Linda Ronstadt's singing career was ended by Parkinson's. Five million people are affected by the disease worldwide. Linda could not attend the event in her honor.

Linda brought us to so many great artists. In a dirty rotten business filled with scoundrels - Ronstadt was/is beloved by the finest players including the late great David Lindley. How rare a songbird she was.

Seen him live with Jackson Browne in 1976. He is a musical savant, he is great, a real character.

Lindley is Ronstadt's cousin. She produced his solo records. The real deal! A hardcore true player.

David Lindley came to the "Loreley" for German "Rockpalast" in 1982 with his band. I never heard of him before but have been a fan ever since! Not a great, but a giant artist!

I suppose everybody knows Mr. Dave's collaboration with Miss Linda, plus the Queen and Dolly Parton on the Trio album from 1987. If not, you might search for "To Know Him Is To Love Him". Sweet, sweet, sweet.

That hat! When we saw him in Mill Valley a couple of years ago he said he'd gone shopping that day and bought the hat and some clothing that wasn't polyester.

David, Zevon, Rondstadt, Browne, Harper. It's all starting to make sense.
