Larry Carlton-Fingerprints

Released by Warner Bros. Records, Fingerprints is the 20th solo album from Grammy-winning guitarist Larry Carlton. The album spans 10 tracks and runs just under an hour, weaving together smooth jazz, contemporary fusion, and pop balladry. Carlton's signature tone and melodic phrasing shine throughout, supported by a stellar lineup including:

• Michael McDonald on vocals ("'Til I Hurt You")
• Vince Gill on guitar duet ("Gracias")
• Kirk Whalum and Steve Cole on saxophone
• Vinnie Colaiuta, Luis Conte, and Lenny Castro on rhythm and percussion

Highlights include:

• "Fingerprints" a modern shuffle with blues-rock inflections
• "Slave Song" atmospheric and rhythmically intense
• "Lazy Susan" playful and groove-driven
• "Crying Hands" a haunting, emotive closer

The album was recorded across multiple studios including Dark Horse, Sound Kitchen, and Funky Joint Studios, and mastered at Capitol
