Three CDs + NTSC/Region 0 DVD set. Includes his first three solo albums (plus bonus tracks) plus a DVD featuring a modern interview about the albums. 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. 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. Released by Bronze Records, Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf featured Heep's Gary Thain on bass and drummer Lee Kerslake. Continuing to write and record with Uriah Heep, Ken Hensley's second solo album, Eager to Please, was also released by Bronze Records, and saw Ken joined by Mark Clarke on bass, Bugs Pemberton on drums and B. J. Cole on pedal steel guitar. Eager To Please features the 'Who Will Sing For You' single as a bonus track. Ken went solo in 1980 to record the self-explanatory Free Spirit, his third and final solo album for Bronze. As a further bonus, shortly after inking a new deal in 2019 with Cherry Red Records to reissue his back catalogue, Ken spent some time on camera to discuss all three of his solo albums recorded for Bronze with renown rock journalist, Malcolm Dome. These three, insightful, revealing and often humorous interviews are a treat for Uriah Heep and Ken Hensley fans, presenting a unique and candid experience on DVD, filmed exclusively for this collection.
