Pride and Glory (album)


Pride and Glory is Zakk Wylde's first self-fronted album. It has more of a Southern rock sound than Zakk Wylde's other albums incorporating the likes of banjo, harmonica and mandolin.
Upon its release, their one and only album was seen as an almost complete departure from the music Zakk was known for with Ozzy, but the album's dominant Southern rock sound proved to remain a prevalent influence on Zakk's own music up to and including the debut Black Label Society album Sonic Brew. Zakk's songwriting skills come to the forefront on the album; there is a great deal of variety and the songs themselves are very dynamic, with a very loose jam-band feel to a number of them, namely "Shine On" and "Toe'n the Line."
Both "Losin' Your Mind" and "Horse Called War" were released as promotional singles with accompanying music videos, whilst "Troubled Wine" was also released as a promo single but without a video.
The album was reissued in 1999 on Spitfire Records with a bonus disc of rare and unreleased material.

Legacy

In 2017 and 2018, the CBC News reported on a Canadian citizen of the province of Newfoundland, Josh Cook, a pizza delivery driver, whose vehicle and music collection was stolen while delivering pizza. Cook's reportedly extensive music collection was not recovered, but the thieves later abandoned the vehicle in a nearby location, damaged, with the album Pride and Glory, selected from Cook's music collection, and loaded inside the vehicle's Compact Disc player. Cook described the album as "really good". Cook could not claim the auto-insurance, and lost his ability to do his job. Cook later said that "Zakk Wylde’s son got word of what happened,” and a “massive box” of Black Label Society merchandise was later delivered. A few days later, a similar box arrived from Ozzy Osbourne, including a signed photo and his entire back-catalog of solo and Black Sabbath albums.
