The LUKE CD is my Fav. It is, to me, one of the best Rock Albums of the past 25 years.... It made a HUGE impression on me, it made me want to be a Great Writer.
Candyman, which is my Second Fav. made me want to be a better player.
I know alot of fans didn't necessarily dig the LUKE CD as a follow up to Candyman.
I thought it was brilliant.... To me it was Lukes best songwriting and singing. The Guitar Playing, while Brilliant, was secondary. It felt very real. I guess I just love the fact that it wasn't a "Guitar" record per se...... as I don't think of Lukather as "Just" a Guitar Player". It showcased his Many dimensions as a Musician and Writer. The guitar found its natural place in Lukathers Lexicon of musicianship. Rather that use the guitar simply as a Rhythm and Soloing tool it seemed it was moreso a compositional tool. It was Heavy and Deep....... I think between LUKE and Candyman you have the Best of Both worlds......
To this day my favorite Toto song is "After You've Gone" from "Mindfields" which could have easily been on LUKE.

Yeah l dig Luke, it's a great album, different but great, l think he's head was in a wierd place at that stage, and it showed in his music. Candyman, is also a great album, but the Lukather cd is what got me onto Luke, but it's just so hard to choose, it's all great, so just listen to it all.
