I'm here to make a big, big sound The musical development of Steve Lukather by Arend Slagman A penetrating , sharp guitar rockin' and rollin' in mid tempo together with straight drums (Mike Baird) and a dark bass (John Pierce) into the first lines of Richard Marx: "Have you heard the news? I'm doing what I said I would." We're talking about Nothing you can do about it here, the overture of Marx' second album Repeat offender (1989). Further on we hear Marx singing: "But I'm here to make a big, big sound." And during the whole song that creepy guitar sound of... indeed, mister Steve Lukather. In the centre of this song one of my favourite solos of a guitarist on his musical crusade to a big, big sound. I think that Marx is verbalizing here the leading thread running through Lukather's musical career.

On his way to that desirable sound, Lukather took broadly outlined four musical roads: the road of Toto (from the beginning), the road of a first-call studio musician (introduced by Jay Graydon, David Paich and Jeff Porcaro among other musical friends), the road of jam-sessions ("kicking off asses" like playing with Carlos Santana and Jeff Beck in Japan or with some of his musical friends in Los Lobotomys, Karizma or Doves of Fire) and the road of his solo albums. And fortunately every road had his spin-off on the other ones. As a studio musician Lukather contributed to hundreds and hundreds of songs on hundreds of albums with well known artists like George Benson, Diana Ross, Boz Scaggs, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, Quincy Jones, Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Chicago and Cher. For a good survey take a look at the amazing discography.
