Down to Earth (Ozzy Osbourne album)

Down to Earth is the eighth studio album by English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne.

"I just wanted to be like the Grateful Dead and keep it going by touring, but the record company said they'd like a new Ozzy album.

Excluding his contributions to re-recordings of Ozzy's earlier material, Down to Earth is the only Osbourne studio album to feature bassist Robert Trujillo, who left to join Metallica in 2003.

It was the first Osbourne album to feature drummer Mike Bordin, previously of Faith No More, though he had played live with Osbourne since 1996, as well as the last to feature guitarist Zakk Wylde until 2007's Black Rain.

"Working with Tim on this album reminded me of [late guitarist] Randy [Rhoads]", Ozzy remarked of Palmer.
