Lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne (notably late 1980s onward) and founder/frontman of Black Label Society; recognized for a mix of heavy metal technique and Southern-tinged acoustic songwriting.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Zakk Wylde's quieter, melancholic solo records (Book of Shadows and Book of Shadows II). Reviewers highlight acoustic arrangements, Southern Rock influences and emotional sincerity over technical showmanship. Both reviews are highly positive and recommend listening for the songwriting and mood.
