Title: A Solo Side To The Metal Mad-Man
Review: "Book of Shadows" was put out by Ozzy guitarist, Zakk Wylde, after his record company shelved his great southern-rock project, Pride & Glory much too soon. "Book of Shadows" was originally put out on Geffen Records in '96 and promptly got him dropped from the label. But not because it wasn't good, because it wasn't metal.Spitfire Records re-released this disc in '99 with 3 bonus tracks and I'm glad they did. It's purely an acoustic or "slightly amped" affair. Rumor has it that Wylde had so much energy, that after a hard-driving show with Ozzy or Pride & Glory, he'd find a nearby pub/bar/club, hop up on a bar-stool and crank out these type of songs on his acoustic guitar. Stand-outs on this disc are "Between Heaven & Hell," "Sold My Soul" and "The Things You Do." Highly recommended!
