City of Grace (Long Version) For fans of Kansas, Mastedon, and Classic and Christian Rock! John Elefante sang lead vocals and performed keyboards on the Kansas albums ‘Vinyl Confessions’ and ‘Drastic Measures’. On 1982's Vinyl Confessions, he sang the No. 4 Billboard Mainstream Rock hit, "Play the Game Tonight". He also wrote the acoustic-based classic "Chasing Shadows", along with the Top 40 single, "Right Away". The next year, on the following album, ‘Drastic Measures’, he wrote "Fight Fire with Fire", which remains the band's highest charting single at No. 3 (Mainstream Rock). Elefante was also responsible for "Everybody's My Friend", which was released as the second single from the album and reached No. 34 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. He would then go on to be a much sought after record producer helping dominate the Christian charts with bands like Petra, Guardian, Fear Not, Halo, etc. Producing the Grammy nominated, breakthrough album Petra's ‘Back to the Street’, and the Grammy award winning album, ‘Double Take’. As well as his own chart topping band Mastedon, which also featured former Kansas alumni Kerry Livgren on the album “3”. You realize right away how grace was very much on John Elefante’s mind when he created The Amazing Grace. Not only is the word ‘grace’ in the album’s title and title track, but it appears again in the album opener, “City of Grace.” Elefante is most famous for his role as the lead singer in Kansas. However, he also fronted Mastedon and recorded multiple solo albums. Most significantly, he’s one of the finest male vocalists in Christian music. Comprehending God’s grace is an attribute, believers have grappled with since the beginning of time. Here, Elefante continues that quest for understanding it all, through music. That fine voice is especially on beautiful display during “Not Alone,” a lovely ballad also featuring layered backing vocals. There’s a sweetness to the way Elefante sings so melodically that also brings to mind Phil Keaggy’s singing. If you’re dying for a Kansas-like progressive rock fix, however, look no further than “Won’t Fade Away.” This one begins with acoustic piano, before following multiple time signature twists and turns. For straightforward guitar rock, though, go straight to “Little Brown Book,” which features plenty of crunchy electric guitar. Although The Amazing Grace incorporates plenty of stylistic elements that are sonically tied to mainstream rock, the album was recorded in wonderfully high fidelity, which gives it a bright, pure sound. Additionally, Elefante’s is a voice one simply just loves to hear—no matter what he’s singing. Sure, you may listen these new songs with a slight tinge of nostalgia. Kansas was special at the time, singing about the Christian faith on secular radio which was no small feat. That special Kansas voice still sounds fantastic here, almost as if no time has passed since Kansas’ heyday. This latest solo effort ‘The Amazing Grace’ is sure to please his diehard Kansas fans with tracks like “Won’t Fade Away” and the first single “Stronger Now”. Elefante is currently touring with several groups that feature singers from classic rock bands, sharing the stage with Mike Reno (Loverboy), Vince Neil (Motley Crue), Mickey Thomas (Jefferson Starship), Bill Champlin (Chicago), Steve Augeri (Journey), Bobby Kimball (Toto), and many more.SHIPPING TO USA ONLY Buyer Pays Shipping 1st CD $3.99... each additional $1.50 CDs will only be combined with other CDs or DVDs To qualify for the combined discount, all items must be purchased together, paid for with 1 payment, and shipped all together in 1 shipment Please use the add to cart feature, once you have ordered all your desired items, proceed to checkout to complete your order with the combined total.
