The Music of Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne is a rock legend and pioneer of heavy metal, but these days it seems that more importance is placed upon his persona and celebrity than the groundbreaking music he has been a part of since the early 1970s. There have been many biographies on his life, but none have gone into his music with any real depth. Writer and musician Chris Wade, a life long Ozzy and Sabbath fan, has decided to look solely at Ozzy's music, putting the head biting and drug taking antics to one side to chart a career that includes Sabbath classics like Paranoid, and solo masterpieces such as Blizzard of Ozz and No More Tears. It's time for the working class hero to be judged by his talents, rather than his rock star credentials.
