Editor's review
The biggest surprise about the ex-Toto guitarist's Christmas album isn't that he made one--by now, who hasn't? It's that the blues-rock riffs play with some serious jazz that even grandma could dig. Turn down her hearing aid and she'll never notice that they're singing "Edgar Winter Wonderland."
Biography
Steve Lukather, the famed guitarist for Toto, is making merry this holiday season with the new album called Santamental. The album features a number of legendary musicians including Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Edgar Winter, Larry Carlton, and former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. In addition, drummer Stan Lynch of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers fame wrote a song called "Broken Heart For Christmas" for the album. Says Luke "All the solos are live, there's some humor on it, I sampled Sammy Davis Junior and [we're] singing Jingle Bells together which is hysterical...big band style. I am really proud of it, it's not your typical Christmas record, this is really all [messed] up, it's all freaked out.
