From Jon Herington's Pulse and Cadence (ESC, 2008)—[which is itself a re-release of Herington's Japan-only solo debut, The Complete Rhyming Dictionary (Glass House, 1993)]—"Kernel of Truth" features the future Steely Dan touring guitarist with stalwarts Peter Erskine, Jim Beard, Victor Bailey and Arto Tuncboyaciyan in what may be one of the most interlocking arrangements ever.
