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.
