Kansas is experiencing renewed attention due to retrospectives on their 1976 breakthrough hit 'Carry On Wayward Son,' with details emerging about the near-miss recording session that nearly prevented the song's creation. The band's legacy is further highlighted by a cover collaboration between Europe and Jay Buchanan of Rival Sons, as well as their upcoming headlining role at the 2027 Cruise to the Edge alongside Steve Hackett, Big Big Train, and Asia.
