While waiting for Santa this winter, Zakk Sabbath will be coming to a North American town near you. The preeminent Black Sabbath tribute band on the planet, featuring guitarist and singer Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera), Rob Zombie and Ozzy bassist Blasko, and drummer Joey "C" Castillo (Danzig, Queens Of The Stone Age) will also bring the new single "Fairies Wear Boots" as a first glimpse of great things to come in their bags.
The new Zakk Sabbath rendition of this classic track will be released as a vinyl 7" and sold in an exclusive tour edition starting with the kickoff show at Ace of Spades in Sacramento, CA on December 5. A worldwide direct sales and retail edition of the "Fairies Wear Boots" 7" on electric green vinyl is also available to pre-order online beginning today.
"Fairies Wear Boots" was originally released as the final track on Black Sabbath's sophomore full-length Paranoid in 1970. After a slow introduction, the song develops into a metallic resemblance of a psychedelic blues rocker with a mildly mocking rhythm pattern that fits the tongue-in-cheek lyrics penned by Ozzy Osbourne.
