This weeks Classic Rock Rewind features one of my favorite bands of all time, Nazareth. The band was formed in 1968 and released their self-titled debut album in 1972 called “Nazareth”. The four original band members were Dan McCafferty at lead vocals, Manny Charlton at lead guitar, Pete Agnew on Bass, and Darrell Sweet on drums.

In 1991 Manny Charlton left the band for a solo career and in 1999 drummer Darrell Sweet died of a heart attack. Nazareth is still touring today with original members McCafferty and Agnew along with Agnew’s son Lee on drums and Jimmy Murrison on guitar.

There is absolutely no mistaking the voice of Nazareth, as Dan McCafferty has a unique sandpaper voice that always has been, and always will be Nazareth.

In 1973 they released the album titled “Razamanaz”. This was a very good album featuring some good songs. A few of my favorites on this album were Razamanaz, Bad Bad Boy, and Night Woman. Actually, I liked every one on this album.

Night Woman is an excellent song and there are two videos of this song. The first video is a live cut featuring the current band members in concert and the second video is the recorded version off of the ‘Razamanaz” Album.

In 1975 they released their breakthrough album in ” Hair of the Dog”. This was an excellent album and my pick of the litter. This entire album was good. The two main trophies from this album were “Hair of the Dog” and “Love Hurts”. But like I say, the rest of the songs were top notch also. “Miss Misery”, “Changin Times”, “Beggars Day”,” Whiskey Drinkin Woman”, and “Please Don’t Judas Me” were all very good songs.

They went on to release around 30 albums in all. In my opinion, Nazareth is good, old fashioned Classic Rock at its finest and their music never gets old, or not to me anyway. I have enjoyed doing this rewind more than any I have done so far. I had forgotten just how much I really love Nazareth and their music.

I have included some audio and video clips of some of their songs and the links are below, so sit back and enjoy this weeks “Rewind” with Nazareth.
