Ozzy Osbourne – Blizzard Of Ozz LP Vinyl Record

Ozzy Osbourne’s 1981 solo debut “Blizzard of Ozz” is a masterpiece of neo-classical metal that, along with Van Halen’s first album, quickly became a cornerstone of ’80s metal guitar. Upon its release, there was considerable doubt that Ozzy could become a viable solo attraction, however, “Blizzard of Ozz” demonstrated not only his ear for melody, but also an unfailing instinct for assembling top-notch backing bands. Onetime Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads was a startling discovery, arriving here as a unique, fully formed talent and ultimately just as responsible as Osbourne for the album’s musical direction

“Blizzard Of Ozz” features a band that is far more versatile and subtle than Sabbath, freeing Ozzy from his habit of singing in unison with the guitar (and proving that he had an excellent grasp of how to frame his limited voice). Nothing short of revelatory, “Blizzard of Ozz” deservedly made Ozzy a star, and it set new standards for musical virtuosity in the realm of heavy metal.
