Zakk Wylde - Demo Tape For Ozzy (1987),Book Of Shadows (1996)
Everybody knwos who Zakk Wylde is so i'll just skip the introduction...the first thing i've posted is the demo Zakk recorded for Ozzy way back in 1987.You can see why Ozzy chose him,he masters the electric guitar as much as he does with with the classic.The second release is his first solo release,Book of Shadows.It's some kind of southern-folk rock,with a lot o acoustic guitars and crap...
"A largely acoustic offering from the former Ozzy/Pride & Glory guitarist, this disc was originally released in 1996, then reissued in '99 on Spitfire Records with a second, bonus CD. There is sometimes a Southern, P&G feel, but mainly what you have is a unique atmosphere and ambiance that is created in no small part by Wylde's soulful, yearning vocals. This release really showcases those abilities, much more so than any of his other projects, in fact.
"Sold My Soul" has a great chorus and mood, with a kick-in electric solo. Both "Road Back Home" and "Throwin' It All Away" are good, with "1,000,000 Miles Away" having an electric-fueled rhythm flow.
"What You're Look'n For" has that classic Southern acoustic feel, "Way Beyond Empty" is a heartfelt tune, and the very laid back "I Thank You" has a surprising, back-breaking distortion crunch hidden within.
From the bonus disc, all three tracks are calm and serene."(review from metal-reviews.com)
