Kenneth William David Hensley (born 24 August 1945) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, best known for his work with Uriah Heep during the 1970s. He wrote or co-wrote the majority of Uriah Heep's songs during this period, including the hit singles "Lady in Black" (on which he sang lead vocals), "Easy Livin'" and "Stealin'", as well as "Look at Yourself", on which he also sang lead vocals, and "Free Me". Ken Hensley, the mastermind behind classic hard rock group Uriah Heep’s heyday releases, always knew how to write good songs. It’s easy to say it’s greatly thanks to him that Heep ever rose to the classic status the band has held for years and years already. Although the guitars of Mick Box and legendary vocals of David Byron played a huge part in band’s early success, it was Hensley’s brilliance in songwriting that brought forth such hard rock gems as “Lady In Black”, “Look At Yourself”, “Sunrise” or “Easy Livin'” …to start dropping names with the band’s better known creations.
“Blood On The Highway” is the best Ken Hensley album since his time with Uriah Heep. The combination of fine songwriting and delivery makes up an album that recreates the best Ken Hensley magic and is an excellent hard rock record on it’s own right regardless whether you reflect it on Hensley’s past creations or not. If you like quality classic hard rock – here’s a real good one for you.
Thanks Magal
