It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of musician David Lindley, aged 78, who had reportedly been battling an illness for several months.[0]<\/a><\/sup> Singer Jason Isbell wrote on Twitter: \u201cThe loss of David Lindley is a huge one. Without his influence my music would sound completely different. I was genuinely obsessed with his playing from the first time I heard it. The man was a giant.\u201d[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Organizer Douglas Reynolds said: \u201cI am saddened to pass on the news that my friend David left the planet this morning, March 3. Thank you to everyone who purchased a tee and donated to the fundraiser. It will help his girls \u2013 his wife Joanie and his daughter Rosanne \u2013 not have to think about money at this sad time.\u201d[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Lindley was born in San Marino, California in 1944 and formed the band Kaleidoscope with the late Chris Darrow \u2013 whose sister he eventually married.[3]<\/a><\/sup> Jackson Browne helped make him a household name with their 1973 collaboration on the song For Everyman.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The Claremont Courier reported that, over the span of his career, he collaborated with many musicians such as Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton, Rod Stewart, Jackson Browner, and Warren Zevon.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

His skill on guitar, fiddle and other instruments made him a first-call for session work, starting in the 1960s through today.[5]<\/a><\/sup> In response to the heartbreaking announcement of his death, admirers flocked to social media to express their condolences.[6]<\/a><\/sup> Author Stephen King penned: \u201cSo sorry to hear the great David Lindley has passed away. The world has lost a brilliant musician.\u201d[0]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Graham Nash wrote in an Instagram post: \u201cOne of the most talented musicians there has ever been. David could play pretty much any instrument you put in front of him with incredible versatility and expression.\u201d[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

In recent years, he performed during the Arroyo Seco Weekend in June 2017 and appeared at the Folk Music Center\u2019s 60th anniversary celebration a year later.[0]<\/a><\/sup> He told Rolling Stone in 2010: \u201cI\u2019d listen to a song and see what worked. The song is the center of everything. If the song was about a friend of Jackson\u2019s who died, you play something appropriate for that.[5]<\/a><\/sup> You don\u2019t play a Chuck berry solo in the middle of \u2018Song for Adam.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
