Review by Matthew Greenwald (ALL MUSIC)

By the time David Lindley made his move to a solo career,

he was already a legend. Having toured and recorded with

such names as Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, and Crosby

 & Nash, his reputation as a multi-instrumentalist (on almost

 any stringed instrument) was awesome. Lindley scored a

contract with Elektra Records and put together an excellent

 band that was able to keep up with his eclectic vision.

Combining blues, rock & roll, Cajun, Zydeco, Middle Eastern

 music, and other elements, his debut album is an absolute joy.

 Lindley's version of "Mercury Blues" became an FM radio staple,

 and his slide guitar performances on this track alone are easily

 some of the finest of the decade. There are some wonderfully

skewed originals on the record as well, making El Rayo-X one

of the greatest rock music albums of its time. Fabulous.
