Notes: Uriah
Heep's all around utility man just had too much energy and material
so he got his mates to back him on his first solo effort. And
what a grand album it is. Ballads, quiet moments, and heartache
are combined with powerful guitars and Ken's emotional vocals.
The version of "Rain" presented here is quieter than
the Heep recording, but I think the instrumentation and vocals
allow it to tell a better tale here. The gatefold cover has the
library book in question displayed prominently. The slightly
psychedelic inner cover has a few photos of Ken posing and playing.
Always dynamic with the Heep, this time Ken goes it alone and
hits the mark square on dead center.
