About this album
El Rayo-X is a vibrant solo statement from David Lindley, whose genre-blending approach made the album stand out in early-1980s rock. Released in 1981, it draws on rock, reggae, Latin, Cajun and calypso influences without losing Lindley’s unmistakable slide-guitar personality and rough-edged charm. Best known as a sought-after session player, Lindley stepped forward here with a sound that feels exploratory yet tightly focused, turning familiar material and originals alike into something eclectic and immediate. Its mix of roots traditions and offbeat energy helped establish him as a distinctive bandleader as well as a first-call sideman.
