Kansas - Vinyl Confessions
I really like this version of Kansas. I'm certainly a huge fan of Steve Walsh, but thought the band sounded pretty tired by the time Audio-Visions came about. John Elefante was a huge shot of adrenaline and reinvigorated the band. I think this was Phil Ehart's shining moment. His playing on "Fair Exchange" and "Play On" is fantastic. His drumming is spotlighted on every song. Good songwriting, great performances. I love it. Probably my favorite Kansas album. "Drastic Measures" is
almost there, but the songwriting wasn't quite as good as this.
