Track 1 / Don’t Give It Up
Album: Steve Lukather & Larry Carlton, Live In Osaka - No Substitutions. This is a live Album recorded at The Blue Note in Osaka Japan. What can I say? It was a blast to play and be a part of. It also won a Grammy for the Best Pop Instrumental! “I’d like to thank my Mom and Dad, and my sixth grade music teacher, and, and, and...
Track 2 / The Pump
Album: Steve Lukather & Larry Carlton, Live In Osaka - No Substitutions. We’d play it and it would last at least 15 minutes. Between Luke’s solo and Larry’s solo the song would seem to never end! Larry once asked me before we went on stage. “Chris, don’t you ever warm up?” I said, “No, I just play these eighth notes for 15 minutes and then I'm ready for the next tune!”
Track 3 / As Long As You Love Me

Track 4 / The Way She Loves Me
Artist: Hal Ketchum Song: The Way She Loves Me Album: King Of Love “That Ain’t Country!”
Track 5 / It's Alright
Artist: Regie Hamm Song: It's Alright Album: American Dreams. Regie is a good friend and great song writer. Then one day we started recording Songs for his record. I hope he remembers me when he gets really famous!
Track 6 / Build Upon It
Artist: Michael McDonald Song: Build upon it Album: Blue Obsession. Dude! Michael McDonald! Hello!!! I loved this session! This was another song I thought was going to be a demo. It made it to the CD! You can tell from the track we had that studio bumpin! We tracked it live. Yvette “Baby Girl” Preyer was playing drums on this. She takes no prisoners with the groove!
Track 7 / My Heart Goes Out

Track 9 / Search Me Lord

Track 11 / Don’t Have To Be Me

Track 12 / Put It Where You Want It
Artist: Larry Carlton Song: Put It Where You Want It Album: Deep Into It. Talk about being intimidated on a session! Billy Kilson on drums, Ricky Peterson on B-3, Rick Jackson on keys, Chris Potter on tenor sax and of course Larry on guitar. What was I gonna do!? Larry called later that night to say thanks and good job. I told him, “man, I was nervous in there! Sittin’ with the big dawgs!” he just laughed. That was a fun session though!
