CELEBRATING
THE BIRTHDAY
Of
THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS
OZZY OSBOURNE
Under Cover
is the ninth
studio album
by the English
heavy metal singer
The album consists
entirely of
cover songs,
with an emphasis
on rock music
from the 1960s
and 1970s.
This is Osbourne's
first and only album
to feature cover songs
from various artists,
although in 1982,
Osbourne released
the live album
Speak of the Devil
featuring renditions
of songs from
his time with
Black Sabbath.
All but four songs
were originally released
in the box set
Prince of Darkness,
released earlier
the same year.
The additional songs are
"Rocky Mountain Way",
"Sunshine of Your Love",
"Woman"
and
"Go Now".
Whilst he cites
The Beatles
as his favourite band,
his favourite song
of all time is
Procol Harum's
"A Whiter Shade of Pale".
He had wished to cover
this song
but was advised against it
since it had recently been
covered by a
"close musical associate"
then-former guitarist
Zakk Wylde
covered the song
with his band
Black Label Society
on their 2004 album
Hangover Music Vol. VI
