Ken Hensley and the band Live Fire are a return to the roots of Uriah Heep with a modern sound and vocalist Eirikur Hauksson, who came closest to Byron since the latter's departure from UH. Even closer than Bernie Shaw – the current vocalist of Heep. The musicians immediately take the bull by the horns. The composition Set me free – in the spirit of the album Demons and wizards with a magnificent guitar solo by Ken Ingwersen in the style of Mick Box. In some compositions, we also hear the vocals of Ken himself. Still, to some extent, it is a solo album by the keyboardist. Often this is noticeable even more than what he played in Uriah Heep. However, otherwise the melodics are deliberately in the key of the group that made Hensley famous. Magnificent is the ballad I cry alone, good is Beyond the starz, and Fill your head (with rock) – a classic rock-fighter. Never before has Hensley been so close to the foundations.
