The 1982 death of Randy Rhoads was a crushing blow for Ozzy Osbourne–not only did he lose one of the very best rock guitarists of all time, but he lost a dear friend, song collaborator, and a founding member of his solo band. But to Ozzy’s credit, he somehow summoned the strength to soldier on. For his first studio album since Randy’s death, 1983’s BARK AT THE MOON, Osbourne discovered another gifted young player from California, Jake E. Lee.
The album was another big hit, and eventually reached platinum certification. The album’s accompanying tour, which featured openers Motley Crue, was a success as well. The album opening title track has become a fan favorite and concert staple over the years, and remains one of Ozzy’s most furious rockers. Other highlights include “Rock n’ Roll Rebel,” as well as the gothic “Centre of Eternity,” and a surprisingly gentle, string-laden ballad, “So Tired.” And while melody is stressed on such compositions as “You’re No Different” and “Waiting for Darkness,” other selections like “Now You See It (Now You Don’t)” and “Slow Down” have more of a heavy metal sound. Featured as a bonus track on the ‘95 CD remaster is the rarity “Spiders in the Night.”

After the quiet implosion of Black Sabbath, the wise money was not on former vocalist, Ozzy, being the one to redeem himself musically. However, with shrewd management by his wife and a hotshot Californian in the shape of ex-Quiet Riot guitarist, Randy Rhoads, he reinvented himself and his musical persona, and created a startling debut album. Combining Rhoads’ impetuous flurries of heavily stylized guitar, his own series of lyrical caricatures–”Crazy Train” and “Revelation (Mother Earth)”–and a healthy dose of controversy, citing renowned satanist Aleister Crowley as the subject matter for “Mr. Crowley,” he ensured himself acclaim and commerciality in equal measure.
