Kansas<\/strong> is the eponymous debut studio album by American progressive rock band Kansas<\/strong>, released in 1974 by Kirshner in the United States and Epic Records in other countries.<\/p>\n

Kansas<\/strong>‘s debut album followed the merging of two Topeka musical camps: Kerry Livgren, from a previous Kansas<\/strong> line-up, and White Clover, which played mainstream rock and blues. The newly formed group signed with Kirshner Records in 1973 and traveled to New York to record their first release.<\/p>\n

The material on Kansas<\/strong>, written mostly by guitarist\/keyboardist Livgren and vocalist\/keyboardist Steve Walsh, had been culled from the repertoire of both groups. Livgren’s songs were generally longer and more elaborate than Walsh’s and featured mystical lyrics which reflected his intense interest in Eastern religions. “Journey from Mariabronn”was inspired by Hermann Hesse’s Narcissus and Goldmund, while “Belexes”and “Aper\u00e7u”were influenced by the pseudo-Asian sound of Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot.<\/p>\n

Kansas<\/strong> was promoted by print advertisements which included the tagline “Kansas<\/strong> is Koming.”A promotional 7-inch single titled “Man the Stormcellars: Kansas<\/strong> is Koming!”was sent to radio stations and featured Don Kirshner hyping the album. Two 7-inch singles were released: “Can I Tell You”and “Lonely Wind”. Both failed to chart, though a live version of “Lonely Wind”(from the double-live album Two for the Show) did reach the Top 100 in early 1979. Playlist: Bringing It Back featured five songs from this album and five from Masque. The album was reissued in remastered format on CD in 2004. A remastered version of the album appeared on vinyl in 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
