Through Toledo is the second studio album by the San Diego, California-based singer-songwriter Greg Laswell, released by Vanguard Records on July 11, 2006. It is in the singer-songwriter style, with Laswell writing, producing, mixing and playing all of the instruments and providing the illustrations for the liner art.[3] The lyrics were inspired by Laswell's experiences with the break-up of his marriage.[4]

The opening track, "Sing, Theresa Says", won a San Diego Music Award for Song of the Year in 2007. The song "High and Low" was used in a 2007 episode of Smallville and "Come Undone" was used in the promotional trailer for the 2009 film adaptation of Veronika Decides to Die.
