Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Ozzy Osbourne has shared a new single, Nothing Feels Right (listen below), featuring his longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde. The song is a reflective, moody ballad, with Wylde delivering an emotional, melodic solo. It is featured on Ozzy’s upcoming album, Patient Number 9, which will arrive this Friday, September 9th.
It was announced in April 2017 that Wylde would be rejoining Ozzy’s backing group for all his future solo show dates. Osbourne’s touring lineup also includes Rob “Blasko” Nicholson on bass, Tommy Clufetos on drums and Adam Wakeman on keyboards.
Wylde originally joined Osbourne’s band three and a half decades ago and backed the legendary frontman from 1987 to 1995, then again in 1998, from 2001 to 2004 and also from 2006 to 2009.

OK song, but damn that solo…Zakk is AMAZING. Love his sound. He should be in the discussion when talking about best all time guitarists. He definitely makes my top 5 (along with Eddie, Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt, Brian May).
I feel that this is a bit of a modern day ‘Road to Nowhere’ riff wise. Good to hear Ozzy back with Mr Wylde.
I received my copy of Patient Number 9 today. It is light years better than Ordinary Man. Is it a top 5 Ozzy album? No. But again it’s much better than Ordinary Man and if it is his last record thank God Ordinary Man wasn’t his swan song. The vocals are auto tuned but it’s tolerable. The musicianship is excellent and other than the title track, there’s not a bad song on it. The mix could be better but again I feel it’s a solid record.
