Nazareth: C or D

You know you're in good hands when that doo wop bit after the "drinkin' pink champagne got the headphones up high" line pops out just like a cameo appearance from Dion & The Belmonts in the midst of the Wagnerian Joni Mitchell opus "This Flight [of the valkeries and the bumblebee]Tonight" but there's also the glamstomp "NOW you're MESSIN' with a... (pregnant pause designed to make you wonder just who and what you're messin with) ...SON of a BITCH!" and "Razzamanazz" which delivers all the onomatopoeia rama-lama-fa-fa-fa the McFive were too stoned to maintain for more than a few seconds at a time. "Love Hurts", a bit of a yawner if you're feeling fine but whoah-ha-ho-ho so right if she's left you there all alone with nothing but your Nazareth records to get you throught that long lonely night alone. Not such a sonuvabitch now, are ya?

Bonus points for having that geographically indeterminite midatlantic sound, Foghat-style.

For their horrific take on "love hurts" they should be destroyed. Otherwise, a pretty good band, better than Uriah Heep.

"better than uriah heep", THANKS.

'nother great track by them - version of "Hollis Brown" (B. Dylan), absurdly heavy & slow & over-acted but somehow better than Bob Dylan's version anyway. How does that work? dunno.

Is there a weaker reccomendation than "Better than Uriah Heep"?

How 'bout "a poor man's Heep"?

I think Uriah Heep is better than Nazareth!

Uriah Heep over Nazareth? Blasphemy!

"Easy Livin" sounds like Blondie. Nazareth sounds like shit.

50,000,000 junior high slow dances can't be wrong.
