CORNERS, GA, October 09, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Music writer and historian Preston Frazier has released Toto the Band (Not the Dog), a comprehensive study of the Grammy-winning rock band Toto.

Spanning the band's debut in 1978 Frazier provides a track-by-track analysis of Toto's evolving sound, songwriting, and musicianship. Drawing from over four decades of releases, the book covers hits such as "Africa," "Rosanna," and "Hold the Line," as well as deeper cuts and solo ventures by members including Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams.

The book also discusses the band's work as elite session musicians, contributing to recordings by Steely Dan, Michael Jackson, Boz Scaggs, and others. Frazier presents this context alongside the band's own music to illustrate their broad influence across pop, rock, and R&B.

Frazier, a longtime Toto fan and co-host of the Slang of Ages podcast, brings a mix of fan passion and critical distance to his writing. The book appeals to longtime followers and new listeners seeking a detailed account of the band's creative output.

Toto the Band (Not the Dog) is now available in paperback and e-book formats through major online retailers.
