Steve Walsh: When They Call Out Your Name (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781543943955)

Steve Walsh's distinguished place in the music world runs the gamut from being a familiar, friendly voice on commercial radio for decades- to forging into new progressive territory.

His distinguished vocals on songs like Carry On Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind have been woven into the soundtrack of now three generations - over 30 million fans - all the while impressing new fans worldwide.

His vocals - that remain among Rock and Roll's best - are marked by emotional depth and talent beyond compare. Add a charismatic stage presence and keyboard wizardry into the mix, and it is easy to see why Steve is so respected by fans and his Progressive Rock peers.

So much so that progressive rock icons like Steve Hackett of Genesis and Steve Morse of the Dixie Dregs (who would later join Kansas and Deep Purple) asked Steve to play on their albums, as well as a host of other current and legendary progressive performers seeking his expertise.

His songwriting has been a step ahead from the beginning, and helped propel Kansas placement on the Billboard Charts with tunes like Point of Know Return (#28) and All I Wanted (#19). He also drove the band he formed, Streets into the top ten with If Love Should Go.

Still a chart topper in recent years too, with the documentary that aired repeatedly on VH1 and Palladia, Miracles Out of Nowhere, and his current album Black Butterfly is still receiving world-wide airplay and acclaim. Steve is grabbing the bar Kansas set during their peak and raising it yet another notch. Steve has a truly amazing level of musicianship that can take you to another place...

The book is a timeline through his career and includes stories from his fans, peers and from Steve himself. Color photos by Neal Preston, Chuck Sillery, Glen Wexler, Armando Gallo & Laurie Larson.
