Legendary guitarist David Lindley has played on albums by Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, and James Taylor -amongst many others - as well as releasing a handful of stunning solo releases over the years. Mr. Dave is a wonderful and polished pop-oriented 1985 solo album that was only released in Japan. It is making it's U.S. CD debut here.

Great, overlooked album
While I agree that the dated production detracts a bit, this album has Dave's (IMO) best compositions (other than Call it a Loan, written w. J. Browne), wonderfully arranged and performed (Truly Do, Hurts so Bad, Hands Like a Man, Hearts on Fire, Look Bad Feel Better) and some great covers of obscure but great songs (Pretty Girl Rules the World, Follow Your Heart, Walk to the Sun). BTW, Follow Your Heart, which is mis-credited as Jon Lucien's song of that name, is actually Follow Your Heart by the Manhattans.

Feel-Good Music from the Master
While this is a bit "POP-ish", it was the '80's! But, MAN! Is this guy ever talented and a MAESTRO of stringed instruments of every description! Not my favorite album of his, but well worth having in my collection of as much of his music as I can lay my hands on.

David Lindley's version of white reggae/humorgood stuff, as in keeping with his El Rayo X band

Classic DL!!
Had the cassette of this years ago. Was thrilled to see the reissue. It's like meeting an old lost friend. This is a must own for serious David Lindley fans.

Drum machine doesn't help the feel.
Drum machines have no soul. Programed rhythm parts in this project were a sign of the times when this cd came out. The other albums had traditional rhythm section format and sounded better. I still like Dave's guitar and vocals though.

Mr Dave at his best
More polished than his earlier stuff (produced by Linda Ronstadt) but still a great album.
