Everybody knows the songs ’Dust in The Wind’ and ’Carry On Wayward Son’ which came from the ever to remember Kansas of the 70’s. So, most people know that Kansas wrote those two fantastic songs but what they don’t know is that Kansas went through two different periods (small ones).
The first period was when the band was formed back in 1971 (wow, that’s a long time ago) and it lasted till 1973, when only Kerry Livgren (songwriter and guitarist) carried on using the name Kansas together with other prolific musicians.
That’s when ’Dust In The Wind’ and ’Carry On Wayward Son’ were released (during the second phase of Kansas). But what happened to all the musicians who were in Kansas at the beginning? Well, some of them went back to school, others got married and generally they carried on with normal, everyday lives.
30 years later, Kerry Livgren has put all those people (from the first period) back together wanting to fulfil their initial dream and here they are, Proto-Kaw is a reality! Proto-Kaw means early-Kansas and it’s quite obvious that the album title represents the whole story, they’re here to pick up right where they left off!
A big thumb up for Proto-Kaw, a big smile of satisfaction for all of us who loved (and still do) Kansas and a big rating from me for something this unimaginably beautiful!
