Power is the tenth studio album, and 12th overall, by American rock band Kansas, released in 1986 (see 1986 in music).
Three years after Kansas disbanded at the end of the Drastic Measures tour, former lead singer Steve Walsh returned to revive Kansas along with original band members Phil Ehart and Rich Williams. Guitarist Steve Morse, who worked with Walsh on his first solo record after leaving Kansas--and who was a successful performer in his own right--became a significant musical force in the new lineup.
