Here's the big review from Reggie Boyle about Joseph Williams and Toto at the Canyon Club concert.

http://www.stevelukather.net/Review.aspx?id=71

Recently GGMSTUDIOS website had the pleasure to do an interview with Joseph Williams about his past concerts with Toto and his futurs projects. Read the full interview at our Front Seat section. Read more ...

Message from Joseph :

I had a BLAST singing with the band again. I am so grateful to the whole band for asking me to share the stage with them. What a great line up of THE most talented musicians and sound crew. I feel truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with them. I would gladly go to the ends of the earth for my friends Bobby, Simon, Greg, Lee, and Tony. These guys make me want to be a better musician!
And I would go to hell and back for my dear friend and brother Luke!
Oh wait! I've already done that...
My prayers go out to Mike Porcaro for a speedy recovery!
Love to all Toto fans everywhere.
JW.

Message from Bobby :

Hi Nick. It was great to have Joseph out with us last night. He sounds better than ever, and we all had a wonderful time. Joe and I traded verses on "Hold The Line" and "Rosanna", and of course, he sang the verses on "Pamela" and "Stop Loving You". It went very well, and I think since Trevor Lukather also played on Hold The Line, itwas a "once in a lifetime" event last night. It was a crowded stage, but we had more fun than we've had in a long while. Thank you Joseph and Travor, for making it a great evening...........Bobby

Message from Steve :

He KILLED IT!! It was great to hnag with him and to me he never sounded better ever!
He will be back..

Joseph Williams says : "Hey, Nick. It will be around the 7th, 8th and 9th of June. And I am very exited as you may have guessed! I will know the exact plan after the band gets back from their run in the beginning of May." JW

Joseph Williams will sit in for a few tunes at the upcoming Los Angeles, California Toto shows. In the mean-time, he'll be joining Steve Lukather in the studio to lay down some vocals for Luke's upcoming solo release.

"Blue Wolf : To The Ends of the Earth and Sea", a Japanese major movie released in March 2007 will also be released more than 60 countries and you can take a look at Genghis Khan's life, from his birth to conquests in Asia in late 12th century. Genghis Khan is said to be the father of Mogolia.
Apart from the movie itself, we should pay our attention to the soundtrack album because of two singers. One is Joseph Williams and the other is Jason Scheff.
Joseph would sing mid-tempo a little bit TOTO-vein pop titled "Safe And Sound".
Jason Scheff perform a power ballad titled "Anything For You" written with Greg Mathieson and originally performed by Tommy Funderburk for his latest solo album "Anything For You"(2005).

Virgil Donati (Vertigo, Ring Of Fire, Planet X) is currently on tour with French pop music legend Michel Polnareff. Bunny Brunel and Tony Macalpine (Virgil Donati's band) are also members of Polnareff's touring band. The Tour kicks off on March 02 for an amazing 10 shows at the Palais Omnisport in Bercy, followed by further shows in France and Belgium through March, April, May and June.

Joseph Williams appears on the new compilation of Noriyuki Makihara "Songs from L.A". Also to note the participation of the following artists: Bobby Caldwell, Tommy Funderburk, George Duke, Jason Scheff, Robbie Dupree, Kim Edges, Justin Andres, Bill Champlin, Timothy Drury and Bobby Kimball.

- For the 30 years Tour, do you already talk with the guys about the city or rooms ? We know that Joseph Williams and Steve Porcaro will be in, and how do approach the vocals parts with Joseph? You guys announced some kind of huge gig for that tour! Is it possible to hear your own songs? Imagine a 'Woodstock' by Toto? Maybe some stuff rarely perfomed on stage?
We're still in the planning stages of the 30th anniversary tour, so it's too soon to say how this will go. Joseph and I will share vocals when he comes out with us. It will be a fantastic tour, and I'm sure a lot of fun for everyone. How great to share a tour with everyone who had anything to do with Toto over the years. We're all in the "big family", and looking forward to this.

- About Joseph, do you know him outside the band, in all days life? Did you interess of his own albums, etc.. Do you think that he could be a 'new member' or staying a guest on futures Toto's albums? And what do you think really about Joseph ?
Joseph and I are good friends. We've done several projects outside of Toto together, and I've done some vocals on 2 of his CDs. We have a lot of fun together.

Hello to all Toto fans in France! I miss you guys a lot. I hope I will be able to tag along with Luke, Bobby and the guys to sing for you again soon. In 2007? I will hopefully be recording a new record or two of my own. Aside from that, I will be home with my Family!
