Kansas nobody s home


Always Never the Same is the thirteenth studio album by American rock band Kansas, released in 1998.

Contents

This album consists of mostly covers of the band’s previous work, re-recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra. New songs include “In Your Eyes,” “The Sky Is Falling,” “Need to Know,” and the instrumental, “Preamble.” “Prelude & Introduction” is a medley of several Kansas songs. The album also includes a cover of The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby,” Kansas’s first cover to appear on an album since J.J. Cale’s “Bringing It Back” on Kansas. “Carry On Wayward Son” was recorded at the time in case strong sales brought forth a second symphonic album, but it remains unreleased.
