Product Details

David Lindley spent the 1970s as one of Los Angeles' most in-demand session and touring players, his fretwork woven into some of the decade's most enduring records. El Rayo-X marked his emergence from the sideman role into something stranger and more personal, drawing on reggae, Middle Eastern tonality, and American roots music in ways that felt genuinely earned rather than borrowed. The band he assembled for these sessions was no casual affair.

When David Lindley commenced on his solo career with "El Rayo-X" in 1981, he had already established himself as a studio musician in numerous venues. His competent playing, which he had long cultivated in performance with Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and Crosby & Nash, is concentrated here on this album like an x-ray beam. And what is more: the multi-instrumentalist worked on his early, forgotten attempts on the banjo and fiddle and took himself right up to the strings of the steel guitar.
