According to the Claremont Courier, he collaborated with several musicians throughout the course of his career, including Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton, Rod Stewart, Jackson Browne, and Warren Zevon.

What was David Lindley’s cause of death?
Douglas Reynolds, a close friend of Lindley’s, initially acknowledged his passing on March 3, 2023.
“I am saddened to pass on the news that my friend David left the planet this morning,” he said on a Custom Ink fundraiser page.
“Thank you to everyone who purchased a tee and donated to the fundraiser. It will help his girls.”
Despite his death being confirmed, an exact cause was not released.
Some of his fans expressed their condolences on Twitter shortly after it was reported that he had passed away.
One person commented: “David Lindley, a renowned lap steel player, guitarist, violinist, and Jackson Browne staple, has passed away. We appreciate all of the pleasure you have given music fans throughout the years. We will miss you terribly.”
one more said: “Godspeed, David Lindley. What a musician, guy. Taste, talent, and complete craziness all combined to create something truly original and influential.”
Was David Lindley married?
Lindley frequently spent time at home with his family while he wasn’t in the studio.
He was married to Joanie Lindley and had one daughter, Rosanne.
Chris Darrow’s sister, Joanie, played in the band Kaleidoscope with Lindley before Chris passed away.
Because Joanie and Rosanne tend to avoid the spotlight and social media at the moment, not much is known about their private life.
