They were very popular in Finland and no wonder as many of Hensley's songs sound like Finnish schlagers, only with more distortion on guitar. They have a decent song here and there and a long list of awesome bassplayers but generally the cabaret -like acts of David Byron (good singer but I can't stand his voice) and almost proto-powermetal style writing of Ken Hensley got on my nerves.
I used to listen to Heep quite a lot but got eventually rid of the albums. The band called him Joni Sloman 'cause he used to play Joni Mitchell songs on a piano. Some of the tracks like "No Return" were originally his songs from when he had a band called Pulsar (featuring Pino Palladino and Greg Dechert). Sloman himself admitted that he was a wrong guy for the job because the band didn't want to change. The album with John Sloman on vocals (Conquest) is "interesting" in that he was such a different singer.
Firefly is the first and best, the other two are much the same in quality as the later Byron albums.Īpart from their first 4 albums I also have a soft spot for Firefly and High & Mighty. Of what followed, the Lawton albums mostly move towards soft-rock. Probably would have been better to have released fewer albums. The four Byron albums after that point are all much the same too much weak material. I hear a slight dip on The Magician's Birthday, with some below-par meat and potatoes/'boogie' material like 'Spider Woman' making the cut. The next three (Salisbury/Look At Yourself/Demons And Wizards) have always been my favourites and are as strong as anyone's hard rock from the time IMHO. It's raining outside but that's not unusual But the way that I'm feeling is becoming usual I guess you could say The clouds are moving away Away from your days And into mine Now it's raining inside and that's kind of a shame And it's getting to me, a happy man And why should you want to Waste all my time The world is yours But I am mine Rain. The throwaway tracks to me are 'Walking In Your Shadow', 'Lucy Blues' (the US version elbowed this dud in favour of an early version of 'Bird Of Prey') and 'Real Turned On'. Listen to Rain by Uriah Heep, 15,244 Shazams. What happened with that one was that they were still putting the line-up together, there's three (!) different drummers and some of it was done even before Ken Hensley had joined- the tracks with Mellotron aren't him. It was released on The Magician's Birthday in November of the same year.I still rate them, but it's the first four/five albums which have their best work.Īs for the debut, I don't agree that it's only 'Gypsy'. The song was recorded and mixed at Lansdowne Recording Studios, London, in September 1972. Songwriter Hensley recorded a slightly different version for inclusion on his 1973 debut solo album Proud Words on a Dusty Shelf. VERSE 1 C G F Am Its raining outside, but thats not.
