music music Steve Lukather & Friends
Santamental
Our Price: $16.00
(Price Includes U.S. shipping)

More Info
Rock/Fusion

In June 2002 Lukather started the recordings for a solo album with jazz-rock style covers of classic and brand new Xmas songs, (re)arranged by Luke himself and Jeff Babko. The album (almost entirely instrumental) also will contain two new songs as a surprise gift. One of the special guests on the album, entitled Santamental is Eddie Van Halen. Lukather in July, "Ed and I have been friends for 24 years or so. I got him out of seclusion to come rip on one of the Xmas tunes." Van Halen joins Lukather on a rendition of the standard "Joy To The World" that Lukather tells will sound a bit different than what most people are used to, "I did a version of "Joy To The World" that sounds like it's "Hot For Teacher" or "Space Boogie". It's that tempo, that groove, and we re-arranged the voicings around the melody. Me and him go back and forth on some solos. Santamental sounds like a Big Band based on Weather Report, Frank Zappa and Van Halen." Destined to become a classic, the album is specially packaged in an 4-panel Digipak. Instrumental Guitar, total running time, 42:28

'A Christmas Carol' Review Featured In Minor 7th

music
Fingerstyle
By: Alan Fark

music `m dying to know what would make a talented guitarist like Bill Perry put down his instrument for 20 years. A classical guitarist who took a two-decade hiatus from music, Perry has resurrected an obvious love, and "A Christmas Carol" is the pleasant result. He`s imbued his own signature into such Christmas classics as "White Christmas, " "Little Drummer Boy" and "Joy to the World." Unlike other formulaic holiday collections, however, he`s wisely included five of his own compositions, the first of which is appropriately titled "Prelude/Resurrection," exultant in mood as if he`s returned to a bygone place.
