(Chipster) Kansas will celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2023. To commemorate this landmark occasion, current label InsideOutMusic are pleased to announce Another Fork In The Road - 50 Years Of Kansas for release on the 9th December 2022.
A career-spanning collection, it features carefully-selected tracks from across the bands sizable discography, as well as a new version of 'Can I Tell You'. Originally recorded and released on their 1974 debut, the song is updated by the current line-up, providing a full-circle perspective on the band's long and continuing history that has seen them release 16 studio albums and sell in excess of 30 million albums worldwide.
Phil Ehart comments: "We are really honored by the commitment that InsideOut Music has put into 'Another Fork in the Road.' This is far more than just another greatest hits album. 'Another Fork in the Road' is an in-depth representation of the evolving and winding musical journey of the band KANSAS that's been 50 years in the making."
Another Fork In The Road - 50 Years Of Kansas will arrive as a 3CD Digipak collection, including extensive liner notes by journalist Jeff Wagner, as well as pictures of rarely-seen memorabilia and archive material, all overseen by founding member Phil Ehart.
