Luke‘s ninth solo album features performances from past and present members of the ToTo family tree that include David Paich, Joseph Williams, Simon Phillips, Shannon Forrest, Lee Sklar, and Steve Maggiora. Luke’s eldest son Trev Lukather and Gov’t Mule bassist Jorgen Carlsson also perform.
His ninth solo album, “Bridges,” could not be more accurately titled. Luke shares: “I see it as a bridge between my solo music and ToTo Music. The fact that Joseph Williams, David Paich and I wrote most of the record, and the fact I invited many of the old ToTo gang to come and play, co-writers like Randy Goodrum and Stan Lynch brings all this together. It also proves that most of my old pals and I are still great friends, and I wanted to do a record ‘in the style of,’ as ToTo will never record another studio album. This is as close as we will get.”
The artist has unveiled the single “Not My Kind Of People,” stream it through the YouTube player below:
