SAN DIEGO — David Lindley may not have been a household name for most music fans, but he most certainly was for his fellow musicians. Witness the classic albums that featured this masterful guitarist, who died last week at the age of 78.
Lindley’s many album memorable credits included Linda Ronstadt’s “Heart Like a Wheel,” Rod Stewart’s “Atlantic Crossing,” James Taylor’s “In the Pocket,” Dolly Parton’s “Here You Come Again,” Bob Dylan’s “Under the Red Sky” and almost any release you can think of by Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon or Graham Nash.
Lindley — who was nearly arrested onstage at his 1982 San Diego show at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay — was just as memorable playing on a host of albums by artists who didn’t match Ronstadt or Taylor for name recognition.
