Somewhere to Elsewhere
Somewhere to Elsewhere is the 14th studio album, and 20th overall, by American rock band Kansas, released in 2000.
This album marks the reunion of the band's original 1970s lineup, along with Billy Greer, who joined Kansas with Power. Kerry Livgren composed all of the album's tracks, and he sings (which he does not normally do) on the hidden track "Geodesic Dome". The album was an attempt at a comeback for the recently struggling band. The direction here is more like the albums from the late 70's, with less Christian affection and more focus on hard rock.
