"Pride and Glory" has more of a Southern Rock sound than Zakk Wylde's other albums. Upon its release the album was seen as complete departure from the music Zakk was known for with Ozzy, but the album's dominant Southern Rock sound later prevailed on Zakk's own music, up to and including the debut Black Label Society album "Sonic Brew". Zakk's song writing skills come to the forefront on the album; there is a great deal of variety and the songs themselves are very dynamic, with a very loose jam-band feel to a number of them. The reissued version on Spitfire Records/Store For Music includes a bonus disc of rare and unreleased material.
