{"product_id":"ozzy-osbourne-tribute-cd","title":"Ozzy Osbourne - Tribute [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eTribute is Ozzy Osbourne's heartfelt salute to Randy Rhoads, a live album recorded in 1981 with the young guitarist who reshaped his post-Sabbath sound, released in 1987 and offered here as a Canadian import CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRhoads died in a plane crash in 1982, aged just 25, only a couple of years after he and Osbourne had launched a solo career many had written off. Five years later, Osbourne assembled these recordings to show the world what had been lost. With Rudy Sarzo on bass and Tommy Aldridge on drums, the band sounds hungry, tight and gloriously loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrazy Train arrives with that iconic riff sounding sharper than ever, and Mr. Crowley gives Rhoads room to unleash his blend of classical precision and heavy metal fire. A handful of Black Sabbath classics show how well the guitarist could make old favourites his own, bending familiar riffs into fresh shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album closes with Dee, a short acoustic piece taken from studio outtakes, a gentle classical sketch Rhoads wrote for his mother and a lovely contrast to the volume that comes before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the live energy, Tribute paints a portrait of a guitarist whose influence keeps growing with every generation of players. For metal fans, it remains one of the most moving albums in Osbourne's catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478976209201,"sku":"696998544420","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_5543cb9c-2368-4072-a0d1-079e9cf28cef.jpg?v=1794396044","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/ozzy-osbourne-tribute-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
