Playing Time: Approx 2 hours
Scotland’s premier rock export and an inspiration for a host of hard rock
acts that followed (most famously perhaps, Guns ‘n’ Roses), Nazareth’s reputation is
founded upon a host of hits during the Seventies. They are rightly lauded for
their powerful originals, but it is probably by stamping their identity
indelibly on other people’s songs that they gained the keys to rock Valhalla –
notably with their versions of ‘Love Hurts’ (number 1 for a year in Norway!)
and Joni Mitchell’s ‘This Flight Tonight’.
With their no-nonsense brand of hard rock, elevated
by lead singer Dan McCafferty’s incredible voice, Scottish rockers Nazareth
won themselves a significant global following in the 1970s that remains loyal
four decades on. This 2CD set presents their finest work: massive hit singles,
outstanding album tracks, acclaimed originals and superb cover versions.
