Just A Friend

Early archive, self-released solo EP, recorded in 2006 and released in 2007, from Luke Walton’s (Luke Francis Walton; not the NBA coach) teenage songwriter period. Documented on archived lukewaltonband.com (~17:40); Amazon Music lists July 16, 2007 (likely redistribution metadata). In 2008 he was on KUSI News in San Diego to perform in support of the EP. The photos are the desk, with the hosts holding the CD. The hosts are not named. That appearance is not the later Dead End Love clip on KUSI. Walton later recorded with The Luke Walton Band and FEiN, and as Scoobert Doobert.

Luke Walton, guitar, piano, voice, songwriting. Six tracks with archived lyrics: Prelude (instrumental) · One Take · Just A Friend · Preschool · Who Needs Tears · Dirty Blonde.
