This 1975 album was the first solo outing for David Byron, former lead
singer for Uriah Heep. It isn’t a big surprise that a good portion of the
album sounds a lot like the group that gave him his day job at the time:
sturdy organ-driven hard-rockers like “Silver White Man” and “Hit Me
With a White One” (featuring the recently deceased Ken Hensley). Take
No Prisoners is a solid and consistent solo venture. It’s all there, Heep-
styled rockers with a variety of roots rock and soul experiments that
blend in well with the other, more traditional material. And “Love Song”
proves that Byron could do a straight ballad with surprising sensitivity.
Overall, Take No Prisoners is a well-crafted album that will definitely find
favor with Uriah Heep fans.
Take No Prisoners is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually
numbered copies on purple coloured vinyl. The package includes an
insert. |
