Past And Present (Songs In Time) 1970-2021 Coffret Deluxe

Description

'Solo' (CD1) focuses on the gems from his first three solo albums, released by Bronze records between 1973 and 1981. After making his way through the fertile music scene of the 1960s, Ken became known when he joined Uriah Heep in 1970. Creating revolutionary melodic hard rock with Heep, CD1 ends with "Tales," "Echoes In The Dark," and "Sunrise" from "The Magician's Birthday" (1972), then "Paradise," "Poet's Justice," and "Rainbow Demon" in "Demons And Wizards" (1972).
"A Glimpse of Glory" (CD2) from 1990 explores the depth of Ken's songwriting and his examination of faith, best demonstrated in the songs "The Return" and "The Joy Of Knowing Jesus." According to Ken's notes for 'Running Blind' (CD3) from 2002, "I guess this CD is really typical of how I like to record, with a mix of songs from different styles. Most of the time, I see myself as a storyteller and the tempo, rhythm, and production must combine to support the lyrical message.
'Running Blind' was followed in 2003 by 'The Last Dance' (CD4). Produced by Ken and Daniel Saiz Gomez, it featured Tommy Lopez (drums), John Smithson (bass), and Ovidio Lopez (guitar) with Ken's classic slide guitar on "Crying."
A still prolific songwriter, on "Cold Autumn Sunday" (CD5) from 2005, Ken took the time to record a number of songs from his catalog, revisiting "Send Me An Angel," originally recorded with Southern rockers Blackfoot in 1983, "Inside The Mystery," originally on 'Free Spirit,' and the title track originally released on Ken's solo debut in 1973, 'Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf.'
This anthology concludes with 'Collaborations (2011-2021)' on CD6, a new compilation showcasing his work on two studio albums and a live album with Live Fire; 'Faster,' 'Trouble,' and 'Live Fire Live!!' featuring Ken Ingwersen's incredible guitar playing that Ken loved so much. CD6 ends with two tracks from his latest album, "My Book of Answers," highlighting his writing with Vladimir Emelin.
The music world not only lost a great multi-talented musician and a mercurial artist but also a highly respected songwriter when Ken Hensley sadly passed away in November 2020.
