July 15, 2007 (Press Release) --
7/15/07 - Spain - Rock music legend Ken Hensley, who is best known for his work with classic rock groups Uriah Heep and Blackfoot, has just unveiled possibly his most important work to date - the rock opus Blood On The Highway. Germany's Politur Rock Records has just released the critically acclaimed masterpiece in which Hensley, who has recorded 13 studio albums and one highly acclaimed live 2-LP set with one of Britain's hardest rocking ensembles Uriah Heep, could not be more excited!
"So give me five guys who can rock, who don't know how to stop, send them ten times round the block just to add a little mystery, give me radio with balls, someone to help us fill the halls and we can grab ourselves a piece of Rock and Roll history."
'(This Is) Just The Beginning'
Rock´n`Roll in the Seventies - a particularly colourful chapter in music history. There's been hardly another era in the annals of popular music that has had an equally significant influence on the developments to come, proved to be a lasting inspiration for many artists and changed so much in political and social terms. Ken Hensley experienced the golden Seventies in his position as a true rock star. As Uriah Heep 's main songwriter, guitarist, vocalist and keyboardist until 1980, but also as a successful solo artist with numerous impressive releases in his own right, he went through countless ups and downs, enjoyed successful concerts, suffered difficult phases, yet only ever wanted one thing: to continue his life as a musician. From the stuff that well over thirty years of a wistful musician's dreams are made of, Ken Hensley has now written and composed an album that is exciting and sounds authentic to the last note. Blood On The Highway is much more than a pure concept album. It's a memoir of a golden decade, Hensley 's tribute to perhaps the most important era of the genre and a haunting rock album full of emotions, vitality and dynamism. Or, as Hensley puts it: "Blood On The Highway tells a very special story that is autobiographic to a large extent, but also reflects the experiences of many of my friends and colleagues. It's the story of the Seventies from a rock musician's perspective."
Hensley was supported by a number of renowned singers whose voices suit the individual songs.
