Gods – To Samuel A Son (1969) (@192)
04 Jul 2007
(Review from allmusic.com)
Their first album, Genesis didn’t make much of an impact, nor did some non-album singles. The Gods disbanded in early 1969, though a second album, To Samuel a Son, was posthumously released.
The Gods’ second album is, like their debut, Genesis, early keyboard-based progressive rock with a psychedelic hangover, vaguely tied into a concept about the experiences of the “Samuel” in the title track. It’s more varied in tone than their first record, though, and more surprisingly, a little lighter in touch, though you can still hear some of the bluster of keyboardist Ken Hensley’s subsequent group, Uriah Heep.
Line-up:
- Ken Hensley / keyboards, vocals
- Joe Konas / guitars, vocals

Thanks for all your Ken Hensley-related posts. I’ve appreciated them a great deal and would otherwise have had trouble finding many of them. Keep up the great blog!
