Kerry Livgren – The Best Of Kerry Livgren (2002)
Kerry Livgren is best known as one of the founding members of Kansas. He left Kansas in 1983 but has remained close to the band and continued to appear occasionally with Kansas on various tours since the 1990s. In 2000, the original and current members of Kansas reunited at Livgren's studio to record a new album written entirely by Livgren, titled Somewhere to Elsewhere. Since 2003 Kerry Livgren has worked in the band Proto-Kaw, which in fact is an early incarnation of Kansas reunited. He also has reissued a great part of his album releases partly re-reorded.
The title of this compilation is in fact not quite fair, as the album is compiled of re-recordings, remasters and 2 previously unreleased songs.

The best Kerry Livgren's solo album as far as I am concerned. Kerry is able to pull off enough magic from the previous glory years, update it to the contemporary simplified prog and pop-rock sound and make it almost as accessible as the Kansas album by then. The choice of multiple singers is effective and even the undisputed Steve Walsh appears ...
