MP3 FLAC		Black Label Society Hangover Music Vol. VI [Album] 20 April 2004 Heavy Metal Wikipedia Discogs
'Hangover Music Vol. VI' is the fifth studio album by Black Label Society. It is a much more mellow affair than previous albums by the band, and some fans have recognized it as a nod back to Zakk Wylde's earlier solo effort, Book Of Shadows (1996). The album contains a song entitled 'Layne', which is written in memory of Layne Staley of Alice In Chains.
Performers: Zakk Wylde (Vocals / Guitar) Mike Inez (Bass Guitar) []

mindkiller Review (20 July 2024) I can't recall the first time I had a listen to this band. In any case became familiar with their releases after forming in 1998. While The Blessed Hellride released prior to this effort I love to bits, Hangover is a very different beast. As the name suggests, it is a very dulled-down release to perhaps support the day after for some. That aside, this is actually a very ballsy effort from Zakk-man. It exposes his vocals even more so, which most would admit take some getting used to. To the point however - he blows the doors off with a mix of mellow, blues/rock sound covering some very catchy tunes. You get to hear his now familiar guitar sound that he has perfected over the years - even when you listen to Ozzy releases over the recent years you will clearly know he has left his paint mark on the release. Highlights include the opener 'Crazy Or High', but as you proceed through the album, you hit the gems such as 'Stepping Stone', 'Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow' which shows the man can hold a tune and can hold his own on the ivory which is surprising. We then have the short enjoyment of Zakk noodling in 'Takillya (Estyabon)' - very much in flamenco style. As you proceed you will find a tribute to Layne Staley and a cover of 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale'. I must admit the 65 minute effort does come to an early halt with the last few songs which does relieve it of the 'classic' title. However going back to the start, if you are after a comfy listen on a Sunday morning following a big Saturday night, this is the landing zone. It hooked me as a lifetime fan and loved having the chance to see the man handle his guitar playing live.
