| | Zakk Wylde : Book of Shadows - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | After spending several years with Ozzy Osbourne and recording one album with the heavy Southern rock trio Pride & Glory, guitarist Zakk Wylde released his debut solo album, Book of Shadows, in June of 1996. |
 | | Wylde does kick out some heavy riff-driven rockers, but he also detours into blues, country, and folk on occasion. |
 | | However, Wylde's songwriting skills remain weak; although the playing is memorable, the melodies rarely are. |
