In March 1991, violinist [[David Ragsdale]] (who had submitted a tape of his playing to Ehart several years earlier) was invited to join the group and the return of the violin allowed Kansas to perform earlier material in arrangements closer to the originals. Livgren left during the 1991 summer tour, to be replaced temporarily by Steve Morse again. After the tour, Morse left the band for good to return to his own projects and eventually become a member of [[Deep Purple]], and Ragsdale took over the extra guitar parts, leaving Williams as the primary guitar player. The resulting lineup of Ehart, Greer, Ragsdale, Robert, Walsh and Williams lasted from 1991 to 1997. This period saw one live album and accompanying video, ''[[Live at the Whisky]]'' (July 1992), and one studio album, ''[[Freaks of Nature (Kansas album)|Freaks of Nature]]'' (May 1995).

During the fall of 1993, drummer Van Romaine (formerly of [[Blood Sweat and Tears]] and Steve Morse's band) came in to substitute for Ehart, who was taking care of the group's business and putting together ''[[The Kansas Boxed Set]]'', which was released in July 1994. Bryan Holmes, from [[The Producers (band)|The Producers]], likewise filled in for Ehart during the spring and summer of 1994 until that December, when Phil returned for a tour of Germany.

On July 28, 1995, Kansas was inducted into the Rock Walk of Fame in Hollywood.
