 Art of the State CD October 8, 2008

This is a favorite from years ago. It is Kerry Livgren (of Kansas) at his finest in his group AD. I had the cassette tape and knew it was time to upgrade to CD when I saw it was available.
my intro to Kerry...really! August 20, 2008

Unlike alot of long time Kansas fans, AD's Art of the State was my first introduction to the music of Kerry Livgren. To this very day it's one of my favorite Christian albums from the 80's. I actually have the LP of this album and I didn't dare part with it! Even after finding the CD, I still probably won't part with it since I'm still a fan of the cover art. I found the music to be a really smart, polished and creative alternative to a lot of 80's Christian rock which IMHO is saying quite a bit, since I feel Christian rock really began to come into it's own at the time. Out of 10 great songs, my favorite would have to be the dark and apocalyptic "The Fury" which I just learned is one of Kerry's favorites. Another favorite is "Up From the Wasteland"
Another great Livgren release... March 12, 2007

I have enjoyed K. Livgren's musicianship and incomparable compositional skills since I first heard Kansas. I love Art of the State! Everything about this cd appeals to me. Please, you owe it to yourself to buy this music and support Kerry Livgren. A musical genius and true Christian.

If you like the music of Kansas, then this album will thrill you. Kerry Livgren, the writing force for such hits as "Dust In The Wind" and "Carry On Wayward Son", has continued to mature in his "art rock" style of music. The lyrical content of this album is deep and meaningful. It's an album worth adding to your collection and enjoying for a long time.
