Let’s return to a handful of favorites – three in the studio, and two on stage – from Warren Zevon, who was born on this date in 1947.

Toto’s remake of “Living For the City,” the Stevie Wonder classic from his 1973 masterpiece ‘Innervisions,’ is yet another bold move.

By the end of La Tonya Hall’s ‘Say Yes,’ I realized I’d listened to something wholly original yet totally satisfying.

It’s too bad Yes has never played this song in concert. “Spirit of Survival” works on every level.

Preston Frazier’s Best of 2019 Rock and R&B includes Black Pumas, Alexis Evans, Ben Levin, Grupo Fantasma, Monkey House, Isaiah Sharkey, Frederico7 and others.

Stripped of the drum and bass programs and the army of synthesizers, Chicago’s “We Can Stop the Hurtin’” would still be a great song.

A Temptations classic gets an interesting – but not completely rewarding – new reading from Toto.

Preston Frazier’s Best of 2019 Jazz includes MaiGroup, Alan Evans, Catherine Russell, Jon Herington and Jim Beard, Bob Sheppard, Oz Noy and Kelley Suttenfield, among others.

This album deserved a better sales fate. ‘Magnification’ proved that Yes could continue to progress.

This Best of 2019 list includes both Yes and their former drummer Bill Bruford, and Toto and their former drummer Simon Phillips, among others.
