I often wonder if it was Lindsey's need for total control that necessitated him being the sole player on so many tracks, or was it his snail pace working preference that drove his lack of collaboration, as booking 3 or 6 hour sessions are near impossible at his work pace.
I sometimes think about how good Lindsey's solo work may have sounded backed by LA session legends like Nathan East on bass, Greg Phillinganes on Keyboards, and John Robinson on drums.
His most frequent solo album contributors were John and Mick.

I am not surprised. In OOTC ehe is credited on vocals, guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, bass, drums, percussion, drum and percussion programming. Just 4 guys collaborated on some songs (organ bass and percussion).
And it is known the band gave him some freedom in Tusk.
Seems the teamwork is not a very present skill in Lindsey at the studio.
