Rock 'n' Roll Artists A-Z...Kerry Livgren

http://www.numavox.com/home-special.html

Born September 18, 1949, in Topeka, Kansas; guitarist and keyboard player for Kansas, probably my all-time favorite rock band. Even today, their music still sounds fresh, exciting, and inspirational, due in large part to the songwriting and musical ability of Kerry Livgren.

Compilations:

Recommendations:

Kerry Livgren is a great songwriter, and extremely talented musician overall. And he can really wail on guitar...if you have any doubts, just listen to any of the stuff he recorded with Kansas. Livgren's 1989 album "One of Several Possible Musiks" is all-instrumental and very nice. My personal favorite is "When Things Get Electric" released in 1994.

Kerry's book (co-authored with Kenneth Boa) "Seeds of Change" (1983, Crossway Books, Westchester, Illinois) is the story of his quest for truth, culminating in his finding God and becoming a Christian. It is inspirational and contains a lot of information about his years with Kansas, including some nice photos. This is a must-have for any Kansas fan.
