The Amazing History of Kansas' 'Carry on Wayward Son'

It's been a classic rock favorite for decades, but it also became known as the unofficial theme throughout the 15 seasons of the television show Supernatural and was featured on the contemporary western crime Walker. It's even been used by the AEW wrestling team, the Elite -- and maybe you've heard the parody on Instagram of what it could sound like if "Cartman" from South Park was singing the lead vocals. The latest unexpected pop culture moment for "Carry on Wayward Son" happened recently when it was used as the trailer music for the third season of Amazon Prime's Reacher. Kansas guitarist and co-founder Rich Williams joined Matt To discuss the long and interesting history behind the song. They also dig into a number of other topics, including the group's upcoming tour with .38 Special, plus plenty of tales from the early days and their tours with bands like Rush, Mott the Hoople, the J. Geils Band and Queen.
