Toto: “Jake To The Bone” from Kingdom Of Desire (1992)

Recorded November 11, 1991, by the late Greg Ladanyi at Rumbo recorders, this instrumental is a great album closer to Toto’s hardest rocking album. David Paich’s synth touches perfectly counter Lukather’s staccato lead guitar. Jeff Porcaro’s drums are perfectly mixed and locked with one of Mike Porcaro’s best bass parts of the album. Paich’s piano solo is aggressive, matching the fire of Steve Lukather’s proggy guitar solos. Joe Porcaro and Chris Trujillo added touches of percussion, as well as synthesizer, touches from an uncredited Steve Porcaro, making the progressive rocker even better—a perfect end to an album with a few questionable production choices but many highs.
