The
rise to fame and tragic demise of the late David Byron has been well
documented in the years following his alcohol related death in 1985. In a
nutshell, after fronting the British rock band Uriah Heep for ten
albums and countless tours the charismatic front man was ousted from the
group in 1976 and never really recovered from it, both personally and
professionally. Without strong songwriting partners like Ken Hensley and
Mick Box from Heep for Bryon to lean on his solo career unfortunately
never reached the heights he had achieved with Heep.

Ken
Hensley is mostly known as the legendary former keyboard player for
heavyweight British hard rockers Uriah Heep (also a member of The Gods,
Toe Fat,and Blackfoot), but he's also kept up a pretty busy solo career
since this debut from 1973. Recorded right around the time that Heep
released their classic Uriah Heep Live album, Proud Words on a Dusty
Shelf avoids much of the bombast & heaviness that was associated
with his main band, and showed just how clever a songwriter and
multi-instrumentalist Hensley really is. Playing all the keyboards,
guitars, and handling the vocals, Hensley's almost one-man show was
supported by two of his bandmates in Heep, drummer Lee Kerslake &
bassist Gary Thain, as well as some additional bass courtesy of Dave
Paul.
