Which solo artist released the album 'Blizzard of Ozz'?

Which solo artist released the album 'Blizzard of Ozz'? Ozzy Osbourne released it as his debut solo studio album. It arrived in the United Kingdom on 12 September 1980 and in the United States on 27 March 1981, shortly after Osbourne had been dismissed from Black Sabbath in 1979.

The album grew from Osbourne's new collaboration with guitarist Randy Rhoads, bassist Bob Daisley, and drummer Lee Kerslake. Although the musicians initially worked under the name The Blizzard of Ozz, the record company ultimately credited the album to Osbourne, establishing his solo career. Its best-known songs include “Crazy Train,” “Mr. Crowley,” and “I Don’t Know.”

A common mix-up is treating Blizzard of Ozz as a band album rather than an Ozzy Osbourne solo release. Randy Rhoads' influential guitar playing and the contributions of Daisley and Kerslake are central to its sound, but Osbourne is the credited artist. The album is also remembered for controversy surrounding “Suicide Solution” and for later reissues that altered some original instrumental tracks.
