On Solid Ground is an album by the American musician Larry Carlton, released in 1989.[1] [2] The album features keyboardists Terry Trotter and Alan Pasqua, and saxophonist Kirk Whalum. Carlton was shot in the neck while working on the album, delaying its release.[3] Carlton supported the album with a North American tour.[4]
Carlton played on the original recording of Steely Dan's "Josie", although not the guitar solo.[5]
The Los Angeles Times wrote that Carlton plays "with his trademark shiny, thick sound and relaxed jazz/blues/rock feel." The Philadelphia Daily News noted the "graceful, stately melody and by the purity of guitarist Carlton's playing" on the title track.[6]
All songs written by Larry Carlton, except where noted.
