Steve Lukather - Drive A Crooked Road (Feat. Jeff Porcaro) [HD]

Details

Description

Lukather is the first solo studio album by Toto guitarist Steve Lukather. It was released internationally in 1989 through CBS Records but never received a U.S. release due to tensions between Lukather and Columbia Records.

Lukather came about after Toto had been recording and playing for eleven years and the band consensus was to take a break. Since Lukather had several songs written that did not appear on Toto's albums, he decided to pursue a solo album. He intended to present a dimension of his musical work that fans would not be familiar with, and he collaborated with many notable musicians. Among the people involved in Lukather were Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens, Richard Marx, Jan Hammer, and fellow Toto members Jeff Porcaro and David Paich.

Lukather has stated that the album is produced and that one can hear much ambient studio noise such as counting off on various tracks. He also credits bands Pink Floyd, Cream, Led Zeppelin, and guitarists Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton as influences on the album. Much of the material debuted live in late 1988 when Lukather did some solo live dates in the Los Angeles area while the album was being recorded.
