Kent Henry is a American guitarist and songwriter best known for his contributions to Steppenwolf and Blues Image.

Blues Image

Henry joined Blues Image during the sessions for "Open" after Mike Piniera agreed to join Iron Butterfly. His significant contributions to that album, although uncredited, included the tasteful clean solo and fills on "Ride Captain Ride." Mike Pinera plays the distorted solo at the end of the song. After recording "Red, White, and Blues Image", producer Richard Podolor suggested to Steppenwolf that Henry would be a good replacement for departed guitarist Larry Byrom.

Steppenwolf

Henry recorded "For Ladies Only" and toured with the band on their farewell tour, in addition to his contributions on John Kay's first solo album, "Forgotten Songs and Unsung Heroes". Henry was not invited to rejoin the band when it reformed to record "Slow Flux" and found out about it when new guitarist Bobby Cochran called him for advice, believing it was Henry's choice to not be a part of Steppenwolf.

Goldy McJohn, the band's keyboardist, says Henry was fired because he didn't get along well with drummer Jerry Edmonton:

:"Kent had a problem with Jerry. At a restaurant in London, Jerry told Kent that the food wasn't that hot. My ass! It was unbelieveably breathtaking! When we went outside, Kent kneed Jerry in the cajones. Then he binged a bit, but who didn't for those times?"
