Toy Matinee: “Turn it On Salvador” (1990)

We’ve elsewhere discussed the “really cool band” that was producer Patrick Leonard’s art project after the boredom of making half a billion dollars for Warner Brothers producing Madonna albums.

While I’m not here to diss Madonna (not today anyway–we’ve done plenty of that elsewhere) I can appreciate Leonard’s desire to flex other muscles.

And flex he does.

Tasty licks abound on the Toy Matinee album and on “Turn it On Salvador” in particular.

And the song contains enough melodic, chordal and compositional twists and turns to keep it interesting on repeated (or in my case, incessant) listens.

Play it loud and often.
