Thanks to MTV, Ozzy Osbourne and his family are household names--sort of a Beverly Hillbillies for the 21st century. Black and Bluegrass: A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath couldn't agree more. Trading Ozzy's anguished vocals for high-lonesome harmonies, and screaming guitars for lightning-quick banjos, this collection gives the music of heavy metal's founding father the bluegrass treatment. Performed by Iron Horse and featuring such classics as "Crazy Train," "Paranoid" and "Mama, I'm Coming Home," Black and Bluegrass cooks up a tribute as good as mama's cornbread--with a side of chicken heads.
