Dude, let's be serious here. Ken's lyrics are great, no doubt, the whole album is a solid demonstration of his imagination, but seriously, his singing in this song is dull. The whole song is the same note over and over again, there's no high notes or even low ones, just the same lalalalala. Glenn, otherwise, put his heart into that singing and it's one of the greatest masterpieces out there. Ken's version is more instrumental than sentimental, but Glenn's... oh God, I'm gonna listen to it again.

@bluangel150 On the album "The Last Dance" (2001, I think), Ken sings on this song. The rest of the album is not too good though, but the version of "The Last Dance" is a hundrer times better than the one on "Blood on the Highway". On the version from "The Last Dance", Ken plays the guitar himself, and that sound even better than this one.
Funny, he still dyes his hair :-) He once told me he only does that because he does not want to look like Willie Nelson. Ken's such a funny guy when you get to know him.
This song has become one of my favorites of all time. Most times I am in it for the melody and passion, but the lyrics really get me (maybe because I am older now). I really like the studio version with Glen Hughes singing, but Ken's version is much better for me. I can hear his lyrics and emotion in a range I can actually sing along with and not blow out a lung trying to hit Glen's notes.. (I regard Glen as one of the finest ever, tho) Beautiful song, Ken.. Thank you ever so much!
Ken writes all the words and music and creates some brilliant songs. I actually enjoy listening to him sing...he may not have the greatest voice on the planet..but his interpretation of his songs I find honest and quite moving.......Great performance guys!!

what's left in the band after they've both departed.

I like Ken's singing 1000 times more than Glenn Hughes's.

@worshippriest I'll second that a million times over. Ken has the right voice for this song (and all his other songs), Glenn does not.

I know that Glen sings this song on the CD, but I would also like to get a copy of Ken singing this. The lead guitar is great. I don't know his name.
