Dave Lindley in The Bob Rivers Show, Part 2, Feb 6, 2008

Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show.

@bluesintheblood probably just clarifying for the audience but that stuff does happen a lot

[bluesintheblood]

amazing folks that 'work' in music seem to never know anything about music: "What instrument is that one?"

@belikewater001 Well its all matter of taste. Taste is hard to discuss. So we cant blame each other for having different taste. But dont take me wrong. I seen David Lindley Live. He is a first rate musician. A musical Genius.

No wonder why he has fans all over the world.

I love his fiddle playing behind Jackson Brownie.
