Free Music Notes for Lukather

Free Music Review: Great Solo Effort From A World Class Player
Hit: 5 Stars

With TOTO Lukather had been up to that point the "ballad singer" (Including leads on hits such as "99", "I Won't Hold You Back" and "I'll Be Over You"), but here he proves that along with his superior guitar skills he can also handle a wide variety of vocal styles.

The songs are almost uniformally excellent. The absolute highlights are "Darkest Night Of The Year" and the epic "Fall Into Velvet". Luke co-writes songs with a wide range of people from Richard Marx to Eddie Van Halen to Dianne Warren(!), as well as his long-term ballad co-writer Randy Goodrum. TOTO bandmates David Paich and Jeff Porcaro help out, as do a thousand more top players, demonstrating the enormous respect held for Luke within the industry.

If you like TOTO with a slightly harder edge, and particularly if you enjoyed their 90s efforts ("Kingdom Of Desire" and "Tambu") with Luke on lead vocals this album is an absolute must-have.
