Zakk Wylde - Book of Shadows (1996)

ZAKK WYLDE is one of the best known American heavy metal guitarists, especially as he has been the lead guitarist for OZZY OSBOURNE's band for the last 20 years, and although playing with Ozzy during the time (and before forming his heavy metal band BLACK LABEL SOCIETY), Zakk released Book of Shadows, to date his only solo album under his own name. Book of Shadows shows a different side of Zakk Wylde, as it follows more the southern rock direction of his previous band PRIDE & GLORY. The album incorporates elements from southern rock, folk rock and hard rock, with a wider use of acoustic guitars, banjos, mandolins and harmonicas. Mostly, a very relaxed record for a mostly angry guitarist. The re-issue of the album includes a bonus CD with three previously unreleased tracks.
