Somewhere to Elsewhere
Somewhere to Elsewhere is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band Kansas, released in 2000. This album marks the reunion of the band's original 1970s lineup since 1980's Audio-Visions, along with Billy Greer, who joined Kansas with Power. Steve Walsh, in what proved to be his last studio album with the band before his departure in 2014, tracked vocals in his home studio while working on his second solo album Glossolalia and did not join the rest of the band at Kerry's studio. His contribution were solely vocals. Kerry Livgren composed all of the album's tracks, and he sings (which he does not normally do) on the hidden track "Geodesic Dome".
