2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to Hensley's high standards, October 16, 1999
By 
This review is from: Free Spirit (Audio CD)
Free Spirit was the third of Ken Hensley's solo albums. As this one was done just after he left Uriah Heep it appears to be more commercially-motivated than the other two which were done more for artistic reasons. Hensley seems to be attempting to tap into the disco-tinged rock sound popular at the time, which he is not as well suited to as his usual mellow introspective acoustic-electric guitar and keyboard-driven style. The result is a rather faceless, by-the-numbers collection which comparitively lacks Ken's usual inspiration and magic. This album has its moments, however, most notably in "When" a well-conceived lively multipart dance number that features many of the familiar Ken Hensley hallmarks and works brilliantly. However, most of these songs are subpar in contrast to Hensley's usual songwriting brilliance although competently performed and sung. Overall, Free Sirit is listenable and makes for a good timekiller album if you're a Ken Hensley fan, but it clearly does not belong in the class of his first two solos.

3.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't call that a solo album, May 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Free Spirit (Audio CD)
This is a reply to "valnh@hotmail.com from Sakhalin, Russia"

I wouldn't call "From Time to Time" a solo album. It's a collection, not a regular record. Neither would I call "Best of Ken Hensley" a solo album. What I was referring to was a brand new one, which I was told is coming out soon (if it isn't already out yet).

4.0 out of 5 stars Hensley's fourth solo album exists, May 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Free Spirit (Audio CD)
A customer from Sweden asked about Hensley's fourth solo album, and I know it. Its name is "From Time To Time" and it is compiled from singles and rarities, the song "If I Had The Time" and some others from Uriah Heep are presented there, but it's strange that there is no song with the same name as this album. It's interesting that there is a song called "Free Spirit"! As for album "Free Spirit", it's a good one but I think that "Proud Words..." is his best.
