commemorate this landmark occasion, current label InsideOutMusic are pleased to announce
Another Fork In The Road – 50 Years Of Kansas for release on the 9th December 2022. A career-
spanning collection, it features carefully-selected tracks from across the bands sizable discography, as
well as a new version of ‘Can I Tell You’. Originally recorded and released on their 1974 debut, the
song is updated by the current line-up, providing a full-circle perspective on the band’s long and
continuing history that has seen them release 16 studio albums and sell in excess of 30 million
albums worldwide.
Phil Ehart comments: “We are really honored by the commitment that InsideOut Music has put into
‘Another Fork in the Road.’ This is far more than just another greatest hits album. ‘Another Fork in the
Road’ is an in-depth representation of the evolving and winding musical journey of the band KANSAS
that’s been 50 years in the making.”

With a legendary career spanning five decades, KANSAS has firmly established itself as one of
America’s iconic classic rock bands. This “garage band” from Topeka released their debut
album in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, who worked for Don Kirshner, and have
gone on to sell more than 30 million albums worldwide.
Composing a catalogue that includes sixteen studio albums and five live albums, KANSAS has
produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know
Return, Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show), one quadruple-
Platinum single ‘Carry On Wayward Son,’ and another triple-Platinum single ‘Dust in the
Wind.’ KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70’s
and ‘80’s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and
Japan. ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ continues to be one of the top five most played songs on
classic rock radio, and ‘Dust In the Wind’ has been played on the radio more than three
million times!
The summer of 2020 marked the release of The Absence of Presence, KANSAS’s sixteenth studio
album, which debuted at #10 on Billboard’s Top Current Albums chart. The wide-ranging
progressive rock album, released by InsideOut Music, follows-up 2016’s The Prelude Implicit,
which debuted at #14 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart.
