Hi there,
I've just bought a Zakk Wylde solo album called book of shadows which can be bought from; (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004LMAJ/zakkwyldesoffici/107-8937820-1314965).
It wasn't what I expected i.e. lots of self-indulgent neo-classical widdling ( of which I feel that Tony MacAlpine is probably the best in the world) but instead was decidedly bluesy song-based rock album with plenty of acoustic parts. He's got a great voice, I like his tunes and there are some blistering solos in their too. I see why you guys rate him so highly.
If any of you are fans of SoundGarden you'll probably dig this too, there are some noteable similarities in style.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
