shit you need to check out zakks 1st band,pride and glory,song-losin your mind...and dont let the banjo fool you in the beginning,it rocks and i agree artwork from the man yes QUALITY from the start just like my favorite,dimebag,but he needs to go back to his roots and rock the fuck out unlike his new cd in my opinion,MAKE DIME PROUD AND GO OUT TEARING IT THE FUCK UP! i mean how long do you think he has left in him,time's way to fast in life!
song has been my fav song for years now, just absolutely beautiful and perfect beyond comprehension, whenever i feel down this is one song i listen to to make me feel tons better!
Possibly one of the best albums ever recorded. I never get tired of it, I advise any Black Label Society or Zakk fan who hasn't heard Book of Shadows to get hold of it!
I want, no wait, I NEED Zakk to record another acoustic solo album. Some of his best work is on Book Of Shadows. No offense to BLS but this kind of playing is where Zakk really shines.
@ajohnson153 I'd never heard of Zakk, nor this acoustic album until a few months ago. I began to learn to play guitar and this album was rec to me by a friend. Amongst 7 other albums he recommended to me, this one really stood out. Its a truly timeless album and a COMPLETE work. I was surprised to see it was released in 1996 and I was just hearing it now. This album will never EVER play itself out in my library.
Zakk Wylde may be the single most over produced musician. Not his fault, but when will the producers realize that his voice is amazing without all the added reverb and effects?
this is a bad song. i love this song so much. i personally like road back home the best. i love zakk wylde. i got the honor to meet him and talk to him at a meet and greet party a couple of weeks ago. he is a really cool guy very humble. got his autograph and my picture taken with him. it was an awesome experience. steve from the pittsburgh chapter. sdmf.
I really wish Zakk would do an acoustic world tour. He's such an amazing song writer and there are so many songs that we can never hear live. Even if he would tour P&G and BoS
Hadn't listened to this album in a long time...put it on yesterday and fell in love with it again. This song has to be my favorite from BoS. I love the Southern rock vibe - sounds like something Skynyrd might try. Gotta love the Mixolydian mode, and Zakk can really sing too. I love the "grit" in his voice, and I also love the fact that he's musically very open-minded for a metalhead. I wouldn't expect someone who played with Ozzy to appreciate this laid-back stuff. But Zakk digs it all!
plant guy666, with all do respect, if you read my comment you would see i said this is my fav from bos"book of shadows", i have pride and glory and nearly everything zakk has done, rock on bro
indeed a must have album, this is my fav song from b.o.s., black label soc is one of my favorite bands, i wish i was into him when this album came out in 96,would have loved to see these songs played live, fyi zakk pretty much played eveything but bass and drums "exc for i think 1000000 miles away, where he did take bass duties, on this record, truly a insanely talented dude. maybe someday he'll do something like this again, one can only hope
@thisoldtruck2 indeed a must have, but its not BLS. this is Zakk Wylde Book of Shadows. you should get the one before this , Pride and Glory. same style of southern fried metal by a jersey boy. go figure.

this cd should be played on the radio-- in favor of the processed trash with no soul. when an artist bleeds his soul like this- it lasts forever.
