Ken Hensley-Blood On The Highway (2006)

In 2006, the former Uriah Heep keyboardist and guitarist released his fourteenth solo album, "Blood On The Highway", conceptually based on his autobiographical book of the same name, in which he extensively recounts his history with Uriah Heep. The result is a kind of compilation of all his previous styles, from hard rock to progressive rock. For this album, Hensley enlisted guest musicians such as John Lawton, Glenn Hughes, Eve Gallagher, and Jorn Lande, among others. For many, this is his best solo work, brimming with energy, flawlessly performed, and imbued with feeling in every groove. A repertoire composed of magnificent sonic canvases such as "(This Is) Just the Beginning", "Blood on the Highway", "You've Got It (The American Dream)", "There Comes a Time", "The Last Dance (El Gitano Viejo)" or "It Won't Last", make up an excellent and rewarding album from one of the true talents in the history of rock.
