Undiscovered Country
A very unique recording which serves as something of a summation of Lindsey’s career up to that point (2008/2009). Featuring musicians from the various points on his circuitous journey, this was a chance to craft some modern world/folk/jazz with like-minded people.
With Erwin Vann from Belgium, Augustin Foly from Togo, Colter Harper from Pittsburgh, Allison Miller, Jeff Berman, Rob Thomas, Chris Cunningham and Randy Crafton from New York and with very special guest, Irish music legend, Andy Irvine, who appears on two songs: one his own remaking of an ancient traditional ballad, the other an original by Lindsey.
The cover is from a painting by the great American artist, Alex Katz. It would be worth downloading the booklet from this one as it contains much information on the individual tracks and beautiful graphic and photographic work by Scott Friedlander.
Don't Count On Glory
This album was a kind of wish fulfillment as it included some of Lindsey’s favorite musicians and people including the brilliant trumpet player, Brian Lynch, considered one of the finest of this era. Uri Caine appears on electric piano on the title track and great drummer, Bobby Previte also plays on the tune, “Blue to You”. One track, “Gyp the Blood”, was recorded in Pittsburgh with some of that city’s finest.

One More Forever
This is the solo bass record that Lindsey had long wanted to make. A collection of originals and a few favorites and with Jeff Berman playing drums on about half the tracks, this was a chance to dig deeply into the sonorities and possibilities of the bass. Beautifully recorded by Randy Crafton at Kaleidoscope Sound.
Believers
Recorded in Brussels, Belgium by the same band as appears on Mercy Angel after a long and artistically gratifying European tour. The quartet is in a measured and assured mood and does justice to the collection of original compositions. Originally released in 1998, This recording earned a 4 star review in Downbeat magazine and similar acclaim in Europe.
Mercy Angel
This is a live recording made at the original Knitting Factory in New York in 1994. A singular quartet of Lindsey, Neal Kirkwood, Jeff Williams and Erwin Vann can be heard stretching out on some melodic and deeply felt originals. Not initially intended to be a live record, the set was so strong and the recording engineer, Jon Rosenberg, also had such a great night, that it seemed right to put it out into the world.
