Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep) recorded the Weed album during March 1971 in between the Uriah Heep albums Salisbury and Look At Yourself. Some members of the 1970/71 Virus line-up were also involved: Reinhold Spiegelfeld, Bernd Hohmann and Werner Monka.
Ken Hensley not only contributed the vocals, but also keyboards and guitars to an album that was referred as a mix of "Guru Guru and Status Quo" by the British music press, mentioned in the same breath with acts such as Sperrmüll, Reaction and Tiger B. Smith - all of them German acts who proved to be part of a Krautrock division specialising mainly in British influences.

2021 release, the final studio album by the British singer/songwriter, keyboard player, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Ken Hensley. On 5th November 2020 it was with great sadness that Ken Hensley, former Uriah Heep keyboard player and songwriter passed away peacefully following a very short illness. Hensley was one of the most important musicians of the past half-a-century. His work with Uriah Heep in the 1970s helped to make the band hugely influential. He also collaborated with bands such as Blackfoot, W.A.S.P. and Cinderella, as well as building a very successful solo career. As a writer he was responsible for such classics as ‘Lady In Black’, ‘Easy Livin”, “July Morning” and ‘Look At Yourself’. Few artists can claim to have had a musical career and pedigree as long, varied and impressive.

2013 release from the British Rock veteran, the third album with his band Live Fire. Ken Hensley has a long and illustrious career, having recorded with and performed with acts as diverse as British '60s psyche rockers the Gods to southern American rockers Blackfoot - but Ken is probably best known for the albums he made in the 1970s as a musician and songwriter with Uriah Heep; from 1970's Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble until 1980's Conquest. He has also guest performed with bands as diverse as Cinderella, WASP, and Therion! In 2006 he formed Live Fire, providing his trademark keyboards, guitar and vocals, alongside Norwegian Ken Ingwersen on guitar, initially just to perform Ken's songs live. In 2009, Tom Arne Fossheim joined as drummer, then in 2011 Ken Hensley & Live Fire released their first studio album Faster, followed by the self-explanatory Live!! earlier this year.

Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf (1973). This is the solo debut of Uriah Heep's resident keyboardist and top songwriter, but it isn't the heavy metal epic one might expect. In fact, Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf uses electric guitar sparingly and instead goes for a moody soundscape built on acoustic guitar and piano. Songs like "Black Hearted Lady" and "The Last Time" even evoke a bit of a country and western feel, thanks to their use of mellow-sounding slide guitar. This subtle sonic style puts Hensley's songwriting in the spotlight and that is a good thing because each of the songs is well-crafted and tuneful: a subtle combination of acoustic guitar and synthesizer brings out the haunting, delicately crafted melody of "From Time To Time" and "Black Hearted Lady" effectively evokes its mood of heartbreak with a descending acoustic guitar riff…

Acoustic versions of Ken's solo stuff, and Uriah Heep songs. Recorded live a La Caja Negra Las Cigarreras, Alicante, Spain, 20th August 2012. Solo acoustic recording. Ken continues to tour the world and spends most of the year abroad playing to his large and expanding fan base.

From 1973 until this very year (2019 at time of writing) one-time Uriah Heep man Ken Hensley has treated us to a huge amount of music outside of the band that he still can’t quite shake of his long standing link with. The first of these solo sojourns, Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf, arrived in 1973, when Hensley was still part of The ‘eep and very much ‘appy to be so. Together with 1975’s Eager To Please and 1980’s Free Spirit these three albums have been brought together under the banner The Bronze Years 1973-1980 by Cherry Red/HNE Records with a newly recorded DVD, which finds roughly an hours’ worth of new chat with man himself regarding the three albums re-released here and the era in which they were recorded…

robably the best Ken Hensley´s solo album since his debut in the 70´s. It is a concept work in which he tells us his story with his band Uriah Heep. The result is a very strong, hard rocking album with some prog overtones, just like UH used to be…

Features Uriah Heep founding member Ken Hensley and John Lawton. The Return recorded live at The Corrib Rest, North London, May 6Th 2000. A nice live album featuring Ken Hensley,John Lawton and original Uriah Heep bassist Paul Newton, the songs played are from Uriah Heep's 1970's albums and Ken Hensley's solo material, the concert sounds like it was recorded in a small intimate venue the band and the audience seem very comfortable with a lot of on stage banter, the song selection is excellent, and this cd would be a good addition to your Uriah Heep collection.

2011 album from the former Uriah Heep keyboardist. Recorded in Riga, Latvia in three weeks with Live Fire, Faster offers everything you would expect from a classic Ken Hensley record… and more. Opening up with the mystical and mesmerizing melodic rock of 'Set Me Free (From Yesterday)', Hensley & Live Fire deliver goods as well as setting the tone for an album that is nothing short of strong songwriting, hooks and pure playfulness. Faster shows that Hensley's head and soul are still full of Rock, and hopefully will be for quite some more albums and shows to come.

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the latest release on their front-line label, Esoteric Antenna, dedicated to new releases by both new acts and established artists. Love and Other Mysteries by KEN HENSLEY is the result of three years spent in the studio, crafting an intensely personal album. Known by many from his days as a writer and member of URIAH HEEP, the writer of such classics as Lady in Black and July Morning has created his deepest work to date. He explains; No-one is free from emotion and its effects. No one. I am a poet and songwriter with the dreams and ambitions of an 11-year-old boy still running rampant in my heart. The songs on this CD came to me as naturally as breathing, from the source I have always believed in and in which I now believe more strongly than ever.
