jack's soul & rock corner

Kansas
Leftoverture (1977)
320

Almost perfect, a true jewel in the middle between the tradition of such a convincing US Hard rock/FM rock and the greatest European Progressive Rock. Out of the standard concerning the European Progressive genre, this famous work is diverse, a special contamination between the best American tradition of classic rock and an epic progressive music, which could deserve the maximum score!! For instance the mini-suite "Magnum Opus" is a masterpiece, but also "Cheyenne Anthem", with his splendid central chorus-section and the final stunning epic instrumental, or once again the most typical US hard rock stuff, included within "Carry on my Wayward Song".Regarding of the explanations above, all these tracks make this album a must-have!!

1. Carry on wayward son
2. The wall
3. What's on my mind
4. Miracles out of nowhere
5. Opus insert
6. Questions of my childhood
7. Cheyenne anthem
8. Magnum opus
