Over the previous decade a series of trials including divorce, the death of his
mother and business hassles had dampened his joy in music making — a passion
that drove Lukather to excel since seeing the Beatles
on the Ed Sullivan as a seven-year-old growing up in San Fernando Valley.
“Transition is a turning point for the album and a turning point
for me,” Lukather explains. “As we were writing the
songs, I was thinking about everything I’ve seen — all the people I’ve lost in
my life, the great and the difficult experiences I’ve had, and how ultimately
it was time to get it together and embrace things for what they are.
We’ve only got one life to live so we should make the most of it.”
In addition to his work with TOTO, Lukather has
played on hundreds of albums with some of the biggest stars and legends in
music including Van Halen, Whitney Houston, Alice
Cooper, George Benson and Rod Stewart, he even played guitar on Michael
Jackson’s multi-million selling milestone album ‘Thriller’.
