TOTO: 40 Trips Around The Sun (Legacy)
Released ahead of the American band’s 40th anniversary tour in April, this hits album comes with three new songs beside re-mastered classics Rosanna, Hold The Line and Africa. Laughably unfashionable in their Eighties heyday, Toto have endured thanks to some great hooks and the finesse with which they blended funk, pop and jazz. They were dab hands with a slowie, too: I Won’t Hold You Back is the archetypal rock ballad. ★★★★✩
