I was a little underwhelmed when the last genuinely new Toto album arrived 10 years ago today – but there were a few stand-out songs.

The third in a series of 12 albums continues to raise the bar in Fernando Perdomo’s all-instrumental progressive rock series.

Mature, sobering and real, Deborah Holland’s ‘I Made It This Far’ delivers a musical statement that resonates.

Terry Blade’s ‘Chicago Kinfolk: The Juke Joint Blues’ is a modern-day blues masterpiece that is as musically potent as it is culturally significant.

Dennis Mitcheltree and Johannes Wallmann’s ‘Holding Space’ is a collaboration between musical titans that is long overdue.

Fernando Perdomo has crafted another engaging chapter in ‘Waves,’ his ongoing prog-rock series. Is it better than the original LP? That’s a tall order.

The Omar Thomas Large Ensemble’s ‘Griot Songs’ is a nod to the West African tradition of sharing community history and tradition through storytelling.

‘Crowded House: Every Album, Every Song’ is an entertaining read for those interested in understanding the band’s artistry and the stories behind their music.

California-based James Booth and the Return are back with another eclectic full-length album that mixes prog, jam, and psychedelic rock.

Oz Noy and Andrew Synowiec spent just one day recording ‘Recreational Substance.’ The result is a powerful melding of guitar-inspired fusion.
