He wrote or cowrote the majority of Uriah Heep’s songs during this period, including such hits as “Look at Yourself”, “Lady in Black” (on both of which he also sang lead vocals), “Easy Livin’”, “Stealin’” and “Free Me”.

What a surprise, Nolo writing a thread for the ex-keyboard player/vocalist from old Uriah Heep...

I lost track of him ages ago, and don't have any of his solo work...what's his best album in your opinion Nolo?

I hope his new solo album will be as heavy as he goes now.

LG, Running Blind is another excellent album, some good riffs are in it. Also Ken used a sample from Heep's Pilgrim, which makes this album a bit Heepy ( sounds like hippie to me )
