I Found the Sun Again is the eighth studio album by Steve Lukather, released by The Players Club (Mascot Label Group).
Tensions were rising within the band and its management because of a lawsuit Susan Porcaro-Goings (Jeff Porcaro's widow) had against Lukather and David Paich, the sole directors of Toto Corporation, because she hadn't been paid money due her former husband's estate.
[8] The band hired for the recordings included Gregg Bissonette on drums, Jorgen Carlsson and John Pierce on bass, and David Paich and Jeff Babko on keyboards.
[11] Of the eight tracks, there are five original songs, as well as three covers chosen by Lukather as "an homage to the people that I love": "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" by Traffic, Joe Walsh’s "Welcome To The Club" and "Bridge of Sighs" by Robin Trower.
According to Lukather, he took the cover songs first "because that was gonna set the tone of what I wanted to write pretty much for the record".
[12] About "Bridge of Sighs", Lukather said that he chose that song because "Robin [Trower] doesn't get enough love" and he "wanted to capture that era when it was recorded in the early '70s".
[7] Andy Greene of Rolling Stone has written that the lyrics of this song show the "frustration and anger he's felt over the past couple of years", alluding to the lawsuit and the end of the previous incarnation of Toto.
