The first solo album from Kerry livgren, the man behind most of Kansas
hits. Carry on Wayward Son, Hold On, The Wall. The list is endless. As
he says himself on the album, Seeds of Change was a fulfillment of many
of his dreams. He says he got the chance of working with a lot of people
he has always admired. There are a lot of vocalists on the album. Among
them are Ronnie James Dio and Steve Walsh, two of my main favourites.
Ronnie appears on track 2 and 5. This album has also made me discover
David Pack and Jeff Pollard.
The introducing tune Just One Way is a song similar to the old Kansas
style, but with a glimpse of gospel feel to it. It's one of those songs
that really can cheer you up. The strongest track on the album is Ground
Zero, I think. The vocals are done by David Pack, and that is mainly the
reason why i like it. Kerry has always had that ability, to write heart
touching melodies and phrases.
About all the musicians on Seeds of Change. The below listed are really
only some of them, since there are several background singers,
percussion, harmoinca and trumpet players. It's obvious that Kerry took
time to do some experiments with this album. An look how good it came
out.
