Ken Hensley ‎– The Bronze Years 1973-1981

Few artists can claim to have had a musical career and pedigree as long, varied and impressive as song writer, keyboard player, guitarist, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Ken Hensley. Having originally formed The Gods in mid-1960s London with future Stones and Mayall guitarist Mick Taylor, The Gods recorded two LPs for Columbia. Ken Hensley made brief appearances with Toe Fat and Head Machine in 1969 before joining London's Spice in time for the band's first album, "Very 'Eavy… Very 'Umble", and a swift name change to Uriah Heep. Although no Hensley originals appeared on Heep's debut, all 6 tracks on their second album "Salisbury" were written or co-written by Ken. In fact, even after five albums with Uriah Heep, where Ken was becoming the principal songwriter, he still had enough material to write and record his first solo album in 1973.
