Walking in Avalon, Christopher Cross’s seventh album released in 1998, is a double album package that contains Christopher's latest new studio album and Greatest Hits Live album together. In late 1999, CMC re-released the package as two single-album releases. The studio album is entitled Red Room, and the hits live release is Christopher Cross - Greatest Hits Live.
Written and produced with Rob Meurer, and featuring multi-instrumentalist/co-producer Scott Frankfurt, the two-CD set comprises music.
The first record of new compositions by Cross and Meurer. Backing tracks created by Frankfurt and orchestral settings by Jeremy Lubbock are included.
The second record is a 74-minute live concert recording in which Cross performs nearly all of his earlier hits (including "Sailing", "Ride Like the Wind", "Arthur’s Theme", and "Think of Laura") as well as a number of his lesser-known mid-period songs. Through a printing error, the band credits for this concert were omitted from the CD notes.
Besides Cross on vocals and guitar, featured are Rob Meurer (keyboards, dulcimer, vocals), Chas Thompson (bass, vocals), Gigi Worth (percussion, guitar, vocals), Kiki Ebsen (keyboards, vocals), and Jody Cortez (drums), with Joel Peskin on alto saxophone and a special guest appearance by Michael McDonald.
