Luke is the third solo studio album by American musician Steve Lukather, released in 1997. It was a much different and more introspective album than Lukather's previous two solo efforts. The album is a concentrated collection of many of Lukather's musical influences, and he deliberately let those influences come out on the album. Luke was recorded mostly in live sessions with minimal overdubbing and processing afterward. It features instrumentation not heard on previous Lukather albums such as pedal steel, harmonicas, Mellotrons, and experimental guitar, bass, and drum sounds.
The US version of Luke includes a version of the Jeff Beck song "The Pump" which was recorded live in Stuttgart, Germany on June 30, 1997 during the pre-promotional tour of the album. The song "Hate Everything About You" was released as a single.
