CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING ?
GOT TO TELL YOU ONE THING
Kansas
is the debut
studio album
by
American
progressive
Rock band
released in 1974
by Kirshner
in the United States
and
Epic Records
in other countries.
Kansas's
debut album
followed the merging
of two Topeka
musical camps:
from a previous
Kansas line-up,
and
White Clover,
which played
mainstream rock
and blues.
The newly formed group
signed with
Kirshner Records
in 1973
and traveled to
New York
to record
their first release.
The material on
Kansas,
written mostly by
guitarist/keyboardist
Livgren
and
vocalist/keyboardist
had been culled from
the repertoire of
both groups.
Livgren's songs
were generally longer
and more elaborate
than Walsh's
and featured
mystical lyrics
which reflected
his intense interest
in Eastern religions
"Journey from Mariabronn"
was inspired by
Hermann Hesse's
Narcissus and Goldmund,
while
"Belexes"
and
"Aperçu"
were influenced by
the
pseudo-Asian sound
of
Giacomo Puccini's
Turandot.
The album cover
depicts abolitionist
John Brown
in a scene from
Tragic Prelude,
a mural by
Kansas native
John Steuart Curry.
The original mural
is painted on a wall
at the Kansas
State Capitol in Topeka.
The album cover image
is severely discolored
and cropped
to show only a
small part of
the original painting.
