Ozzy's debut album "Blizzard of Ozz" is considered one of the best Heavy Metal albums of all time - but it was an important album not just because of the music. It came at a crucial time for Ozzy Osbourne who had just been fired from Black Sabbath and was still trying to find his way as a solo artist. In this episode of the CGR podcast we are joined by our Black Sabbath subject matter experts, John and Darin, from "Into the Void - A Black Sabbath Podcast". We talk about the album, the formation of the band "Blizzard of Ozz" and the early days of Ozzy's solo career.
