Steve Lukather

Steve Lukather (Toto) has been working on a new album project, and according to his Twitter site, we may be listening to it this summer.

The upcoming release will consist of performances from various guitar players with different styles. “I am doing a “6 string theory” record. It’s a record with guitar players from EVERY style from BB King, Keb Mo, Mike Stern, Andy McKee, John Scofield, Vince Gill, Guthrie Govan and Lee Ritenour, and some ‘secret cats” I will reveal soon,” Luke said about the project.

This morning, he posted this comment on Twitter: “Finished 6 string Theory mixes last night with Lee Ritenour. A really cool guitar record with a ton of legends. Out June 15th”
