We look forward to fans in more locations being able to see the tour \u2013 and for people who loved it the first time to see it again!\u201d Ehart adds, \u201cHeck, the first 50 dates didn\u2019t even include the state of Kansas. You know we must perform there!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a recent tribute to the band\u2019s five decades of success, Billboard Magazine describes the basis for their longstanding appeal: \u201cBlending blues-based hard rock and intricate progressive constructions, KANSAS staked out its own musical territory, at once original and accessible.\u201d Billboard.com – KANSAS Hits 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur entire career has been a winding journey,\u201d comments KANSAS guitarist and original member Richard Williams. \u201cWhether it\u2019s been the \u2018original\u2019 lineup signing with Don Kirshner, years on the bus, touring with Queen, and finally worldwide success peaking with Leftoverture & Point of Know Return.\u201d Williams goes on to remember, \u201cThat was followed by various lineup changes, the valleys of the 90\u2019s and \u2018dinosaur bands\u2019 losing steam, to our most recent \u2018rebirth\u2019 and success of our latest new music over the last eight years.\u201d He concludes, \u201cThere have been several forks in the road of that journey. This 50th Anniversary Tour and release represent that journey and the forks along that road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n To further celebrate the band\u2019s 50th Anniversary, InsideOutMusic has released Another Fork in the Road \u2013 50 Years of KANSAS. The 3-CD career-spanning collection features carefully selected tracks from across KANSAS\u2019s sizable discography. It also includes a new version of the song \u2018Can I Tell You.\u2019 Originally released on their 1974 debut album, the song is updated by the current lineup. Another Fork in the Road \u2013 50 Years of KANSAS is available now. Fans can order it here – https:\/\/kansas.lnk.to\/AnotherForkInTheRoad-50YearsOfKansas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n KANSAS boasts a current lineup including original drummer Phil Ehart, bassist & vocalist Billy Greer, lead vocalist & keyboardist Ronnie Platt, keyboardist & vocalist Tom Brislin, violinist & guitarist Joe Deninzon, and original guitarist Richard Williams.
