Hal Lindes (born 30 June 1953) is an American guitarist and film score composer best known for his time as a member of Dire Straits from 1980 until late 1984.
Early life and career
Lindes was born in Monterey, California, went to high school in Washington, D.C., and attended Maryland University. He moved to London in 1975. In 1979, Lindes played guitar with the new wave group Darling. Signed to Charisma Records, they released the single "Do You Wanna" (written by Lindes) and published the album Put It Down To Experience the same year, before breaking up.
At the time of being asked to join Dire Straits, Al Kooper was producing Lindes at Basing Street Studios in London with Herbie Flowers on bass, Brad Bradbury of the Specials on drums, Kooper on keyboards and Lindes on guitar and vocals.[1]
Dire Straits (1980–1984)
Lindes became a full-time member of Dire Straits in 1980, before the release of the group's third album, Making Movies.[1] He replaced original co-founding member and rhythm guitarist David Knopfler. Lindes toured with Dire Straits while they were promoting Making Movies and remained with the band while they recorded their fourth album, 1982's Love Over Gold. Lindes was also with the band for the EP titled ExtendedancEPlay released in early 1983, which included the hit single “Twisting by the Pool”.
Also during 1982 and 1983, Dire Straits’ frontman Mark Knopfler was involved with composing the music score for David Puttnam's film Local Hero, in which Lindes also performed. Lindes toured with Dire Straits for their 1982–1983 Love over Gold Tour. The band's double live album Alchemy: Dire Straits Live was a recording of excerpts from the final two concerts from that tour at London's Hammersmith Odeon in July 1983, featuring Lindes, and was released in March 1984.
In December 1984, while Dire Straits were recording tracks for their Brothers In Arms album, Lindes left the band to pursue his interest in film composing, sparked by the Local Hero soundtrack recording sessions.[1][2]
Film scores and other work (1984–present)
In 1984, Lindes played guitar alongside Jeff Beck on Tina Turner's hit "Private Dancer", as well as on the song "Steel Claw" recorded for the same project.
Since his departure from Dire Straits, Lindes has composed music for films, and has won a Royal Television Society Award for the BAFTA award nominated film Reckless and a TRIC award for Best TV Theme Music.[3] Lindes composed the soundtrack to The Boys Are Back,[4] a Miramax film directed by Scott Hicks and starring Clive Owen, in which his guitar score is paired with songs by Sigur Rós, Ray Lamontagne and Carla Bruni.[5]
In 1989, Lindes teamed up with rock singer Fish to contribute guitar to his debut solo album following his departure from Marillion. Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors was released in January 1990, and Lindes featured on nearly all of the album's tracks as well as co-writing three songs on the album. Lindes declined the opportunity to join Fish’s touring band.[6][7] He composed the theme music for the 1990s BBC TV series Between the Lines.[8]
Lindes has written, produced and recorded with Johnny Hallyday, Tina Turner, Gary Brooker, Roger Daltrey, Chris Jagger, Al Kooper, Brian Tarquin, Steve Morse, Robben Ford, Kiki Dee, Fish, Russ Taff, Sabrina, Twiggy.[1][9][10]
Personal life
Lindes is married to Ricarda Ankenbrand Lindes. He has four children and is the father of actress Evangeline Lindes,[11] musician and Saint Laurent model Staz Lindes,[12] and singer and artist Misha Lindes.[13]
