PRIDE AND GLORY / Pride and Glory (1994)

Before Black Label Society became his home, Zakk Wylde released an often ignored album under the Pride and Glory name and it's great. Most of the time it sounds like a chunkier Lynyrd Skynyrd, so if you don't like Skynyrd... well, you might want to avoid it. I should also point out that if you don't like Skynyrd, there's something wrong with your ears.~ Zakk teases the usual amount of widdle genius from his guitar on the heavier tracks and lets his emotions soar on the softer ones. It's those softer tracks that raise it above a simple homage.
