About this album

Proud Words on a Dusty Shelf shows Ken Hensley stepping out from Uriah Heep with a confident solo statement that balances hard rock muscle with reflective balladry. Issued in 1973, the album highlights the songwriting, piano work and warm vocal delivery that made Hensley such a distinctive part of the band’s sound, while letting his own voice come forward more clearly. Songs such as When Evening Comes and From Time to Time point to his strength in melody and mood, giving the record a personal, unforced character. It remains an important early solo work from one of British rock’s most recognisable figures.
