"Pain not they who suffer only love,
for theirs is knowledge and truth
lay not thy heavy hand on he
whose only sin is youth"

Ken Hensley


"I think my first meeting with Ken was some five years ago; and now we find ourselves working in the same unit - Uriah Heep. Ken's first solo venture is based on an overflow of material that he had expressed a desire to record.
After working on this and many other projects with Ken, I find in him a great versatility as a writer-musician, a capability of honest sincerity working in many different moods.
I hope this album gives you the same listening pleasure as it did myself and all those who worked on it."

Gary Thain. November 1972


"Having lived with Ken for 27 years and having worked with him most of that time, I find I quite like him really."
