For half a century Ken Hensley was a major influence in the rock world.
Ken Hensley forged his reputation with Uriah Heep. During their70s heyday, Hensley (as singer, multi- instrumentalist and writer) played a crucial role in propelling the band to iconic status. During this golden period, Heep recorded 13 studio albums and one live record, in the process gifting the world with so many timeless and inspirational songs, many written by Hensley. After leaving the band in 1980, he relocated to North America. With three solo albums already to
his name Hensley joined southern rock masters Blackfoot in 1982. Subsequently Hensley also had stints with young American bands W.A.S.P. and Cinderella.
Such was his command and stature that he was keenly sought out by these artists to add his inimitable musical presence to their music.
After a short break, Hensley strode back into action with his 1999 album A Glimpse Of Glory since when he had been busier and more in demand than ever, both as a solo artist and also with the band Ken Hensley & Live Fire. All of which brings us to that fateful meeting at Alicante Airport in 2018 when he met Vladimir Emelin from Barnaul in Russia.
The late Ken Hensley had completed work on his new album My Book Of Answers shortly before his untimely death on 4 th November 2020. My Book Of Answers is released on 5 th March 2021 as a CD/DVD and Vinyl Album through Cherry Red Records.
