Leftoverture is the fourth album by American rock band Kansas, released in 1976. The album was reissued in remastered format on CD in 2001. Steve Walsh began to experience writer's block prior to the recording, and his contribution to the album would ultimately be limited to co-authoring four songs (one of which he would not receive credit for). It fell on Kerry Livgren to fill the void, as he had done on Song for America. The new compositions retained much of the classically inspired complexity of Livgren's previous work. Kansas recorded the album at Studio in the Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana. The Studio in the Country was so named because, as Kerry Livgren described on In the Studio with Redbeard in the episode spotlighting Leftoverture that "It was in the middle of a swamp. We'd walk out of the studio and there would be gators in front of the studio, mosquitos the size of B-52s and at times armadillos would run into the control room, laughing."Song list: "Carry On Wayward Son" (5:23) "The Wall" (4:51) - (Livgren, Steve Walsh) "What's on My Mind" (3:28) "Miracles Out of Nowhere" (6:28) "Opus Insert" (4:30) "Questions of My Childhood" (3:40) - (Livgren, Walsh) "Cheyenne Anthem" (6:55) "Magnum Opus" (8:25) - (Livgren, Walsh, Phil Ehart, Rich Williams, Dave Hope, Robby Steinhardt)
