Bill Ward "Ward One - Along The Way [USA, Chameleon Music Group, D2-74816]"

Ward One: Along the Way is the debut studio album by former Black Sabbath and English heavy metal drummer Bill Ward. Originally released January 10, 1990, it features a wide array of guest musicians, including then-former Black Sabbath band member Ozzy Osbourne.

As originally released, Ward One featured a cover art image with a white background and a "one man band" motif. Bill Ward has stated in interviews and on his website that this artwork was not intended to be the proper artwork, and was replaced for a reprint with a much more somber "black" cover. Shortly after the black cover was issued, the record label (Chameleon) went out of business, and as such, the black cover art, while being Bill's preferred, is much harder to come by than the white one. The cover image for the white version does remain in the black version, albeit as interior artwork.

Tracklist:
  1. "(Mobile) Shooting Gallery" (Ward, Phillips, Lynch) – 5:11
  2. "Short Stories" (Ward, M. Bruce) – 1:06
  3. "Bombers (Can Open Bomb Bays)" (Ward, Phillips, Lynch) – 4:23
  4. "Pink Clouds an Island" (Ward) – 3:15
  5. "Light Up the Candles (Let There Be Peace Tonight)" (Ward, Phillips, J. Bruce) – 3:35
  6. "Snakes & Ladders" (Ward, Phillips) – 6:35
  7. "Jack's Land" (Ward, Yeager) – 4:41
  8. "Living Naked" (Ward, Lynch) – 6:03
  9. "Music For a Raw Nerve Ending" (Ward) – 2:05
  10. "Tall Stories" (Ward, Lynch) – 5:04
  11. "Sweep" (Ward) – 4:00
  12. "Along the Way" (Ward, Phillips, Lynch) – 3:09
