Actually The my most favorite Kansas album is Leftoverture but I already got 2-on-1 cassette. I already have many of Kansas songs from Live Album and want to try studio version on Song for America , Lamplight Symphony etc. Unavailable at any local CD seller so I bought this CD from ebay and not disappointed on quality of the remastered sound and songs. If you love progressive rock or rock album in '70. Song for America could be one of the highlight in your music collection. Price is also nice ,compared with local stores.
While Song for America did little to change that, it is their most progressive and heavy work, as their next albums would transit into a softer format. Like the first album, the writing duties were divided between Kerry Livgren and the former members of White Clover, mostly vocalist/keyboardist Steve Walsh. Musically, Song for America features complex arrangements for electric and acoustic guitar, violin, and keyboards (including piano, organ, and Arp and Moog synthesizers). Walsh’s songs reflected life on the street ("Lonely Street"), drug dealing ("Down the Road"), and temptation by Satan ("The Devil Game"). Livgren’s lyrics to "Lamplight Symphony" are centered on Christian themes, while those of "Song for America" have an environmentalist basis, both of which are reoccurring themes in his work. "Incomudro" deals with the Buddhist / Hindu concept of the atman.Read full review
Not much to say other than Kansas at their best. Great remastering. Title track is Epic. The self-title first album, Song for America & Masque are my Favorites.
