Toto, “Don’t Chain My Heart” from Kingdom of Desire (1992): Toto Tuesdays
The one thing that shines through on “Don’t Chain My Heart” is a joy in performing together. Toto is having fun.

By opening 1992’s ‘Kingdom of Desire’ like this, Toto served notice to listeners that they were in for something completely different.
“Feliz Navidad” is an upbeat Latin-tinged Christmas carol from the legendary Jose Feliciano – or at least it was until Chicago got a hold of it.
‘The Terry Kath Experience’ isn’t a documentary you merely watch; it’s one you experience and you feel.
It’s a pity “Can You Hear What I’m Saying” is a product of an era that Toto would prefer to forget. This song remains a joy to listen to.
As Chicago’s “Hideaway” illustrates, Peter Cetera could and did rock. But was this the beginning of the end?
Toto’s “Home of the Brave” isn’t just a song. It’s the storming crescendo of 1988’s ‘The Seventh One.’
Musically, Chicago’s “Song of the Evergreens” is brilliant. Where the disconnect occurs are the vocals.
Sometimes, favorites jump out and grab you – and other times, as with Toto’s “These Chains,” they sneak up and catch you unaware.
Part of the appeal of Chicago’s “Lifesaver” is that it’s fun – a stark contrast to the pretentious seriousness of 1973’s ‘Chicago VI.’
