Nazareth Greatest Hits - A Rightously Loud Retrospective of the A&M Years.......2007-07-22

Nazareth had no class, and in rock `n' roll that counts for a lot...maybe everything. Loud and proud, rude and crude and yet surprisingly adept at reworking classic folk rock ballads; that was the paradox of Scottish band Nazareth in their salad days. This record culls 18 songs from Nazareth's most productive period from 1973 to 1982 when they recorded for A&M Records. Having seen them live twice I can attest that, Nazareth indeed did open their live shows with the blistering, pedal to the metal hard rocker, "Razamanaz". In the liner notes, lead singer Dan McCafferty said he considered himself and the band as entertainers rather than artists, and their work ethic approach to shows and the recording studio resulted in some fine and very underrated 70's and 80's hard rock. Unjustifiably maligned by "rock critics", Nazareth was versatile not only with boogie style rock, but also with proto-metal, Stones-style country, progressive rock and even with reggae-tinged ballads ("Carry Out Feelings") Some critics dismissed Nazareth as "dog food, dreadful stuff", but, the same critics at the time got it wrong with fledgling fellow hard rockers, Aerosmith too. That Nazareth was an influential band is evidenced in AC/DC's chainsaw vocals, in Bon Jovi's soft metal ballads and later in Guns `N' Roses' bone crunching speed rock. As a nod to Nazareth's influence, Guns 'N' Roses even covered "Hair of the Dog" on their great 1993 record "The Spaghetti Incident?". With over 71 minutes of music, Nazareth Greatest Hits is chock full of infectious and gritty rock and roll...and I guarantee you'll like it! My only quibble, is that their great cover of Woodie Guthrie's "Vigilante Man" is omitted. For that one, you'll just have to get "Razamanaz"!

Fun-loving lads--fun-loving music.......2006-02-26

Ah, the wild, wild North of Britain! Home to such rowdy legends as the Animals from Newcastle, Jethro Tull from Blackpool, and who can forget those "darlings of Dunfermline"--Nazareth!
Long before The Bay City Rollers came along to polish and "pretty-up" the image of the Scottish pop star, rock critics were dismissing Nazareth's music as "dog food". But like every good Scot, the band pressed on doing their own thing, caring not what some "frisco bay scribe" thought of them, but winning converts of many American rock fans who related to the folk-influenced, country-leaning, hard-rock boogie anthems of an overseas unit many Americans could easily mistake for their own. This "greatest hits" collection gives you that sense from start-to-finish. Early band compositions like "Shanghai'd in Shanghai" and "Go Down Fighting", with their repetitive sloganeering and driving rhythm, make Nazareth sound like the sort of band that AC/DC inspired to be (which they were, minus the honky-tonk leanings of songs like "Holiday" and "Broken Down Angel".) "Go Down Fighting", in particular, is an anthem for anyone who ever had to stand up to a bully in their life (and come to think of it, could have been a poor man's anthem for Scotland, in general--a nation with a history of being bullied herself. "I can fight dirty when I'm scared"--in deed!) To me, the most intense, relentless Nazareth rocker of all has to be "Razamanaz". Having never seen this band in concert before myself to know for sure, I would have to assume this song was a standard concert opener, and if it was, I would have to rate it right up there with "Footstompin' Music" by Grand Funk Railroad as far as great, lively opening numbers to get the fans pumped up and excited for the show. If "Razamanaz", with its bone-crunching, fast-paced boogie doesn't move you, you don't have a pulse! But that could possibly be the influence of the producer on "Razamanaz", Roger Glover from Deep Purple, because the song bears a striking resemblance to the Deep Purple number, "Speed King"--Roger possibly encouraging the band to write a hard-and-fast number in the same vein.
I would never really consider anyone in this band to be an "ouststanding" musician, but they all contributed to make a good collective product. Funny, as much as the Brits cite the influence of American blues in much of their playing, very few were as adept at playing slide guitar as Nazareth's Manny Charlton. And the slide playing throughout many of the songs on this collection is of the quality that would have even made the likes of Joe Walsh or Duane Allman smile! And there's the singer Dan McCafferty--I'm not sure, but I'm beginning to think having a "raspy" voice is a Scottish thing! Rod Stewart, Bon Scott, and Dan himself. I suppose some Scots are just genetically-predisposed to sound like they swallowed razor blades. Dan's voice can be downright painful to listen to at times!
And of course, there are the obligatory hits on this collection--"Love Hurts" and "Hair of The Dog", but for those who have never heard the rest of what makes Nazareth so great, once you give those other songs a listen, you will forget those two hits easily--I promise! Nazareth, like so many others from the 70s, like Free, Mountain, and Thin Lizzy, had so many great songs, if you only ever heard the one-or-two the radio plays, you are really missing out. This bands music is so catchy, and their arrangements so tight, it will grow on you instantly. Virtually every number is almost a sing-a-long. Buy this "greatest hits" collection, and you will have a hard time taking it off your CD player for weeks!

Hope your a Nazereth fan........2002-10-03

I bought this cd for one song "This Flight Tonight" and now i know why. The rest of it [isn't good]. If you want the two songs from Hair of the Dog buy that cd.

One Of The First Nazareth Albums To Buy.......2002-09-08

This GREATEST HITS album by Nazareth is excellent. Granted, there are a few tracks I wish had been replaced by others (and there are four from HAIR OF THE DOG which, if included, would have made this anthology even better), but overall, this is a terrific summation of an important 70s/early 80s hard rock band.

GREATEST (?) Hits???.......2001-07-06

Nazareth is one of my favorites since 1975 when I heard "Hair of the Dog", their 5th album. But these "greatest hits" should've called "some greatest hits, some not at all" and I would slap the hands of people who composed this stuff... to not do that again. Only one third out of 18 songs deserves to be called "greatest", others are too far from that. It looks like the compilation was assembled from whatever songs were available for the producer. This is a crappy approach which allows "novices" of Nazareth's fans to get easily disappointed. I have composed 3 (!) my own "greatest hits" CDs from Nazareth tunes... It seems the producers were not familiar with Nazareth's 30-year efforts at all. Only tunes 3, 6, 8, 11, 12, 15 and maybe 18 may present Nazareth as one of the best groups in 70's thru 90's. Sad experience...

Kranks.......2002-11-01

If you like Nazareth and have ever seen them live, this is the CD to get. SNAZ is great, but this is even better. I always wanted to hear Miss Misery live. The version on this CD is better than I ever imagined. When's the new US tour?

Still Rockin'.......2002-10-04

After many years & countless tour dates Nazareth records a "LIVE"
one back home. With energy & enthusiasm of early Naz, they play their brand of good rockin' tunes just like the old days! Great set list including all the standards, some ballads and some new stuff. Throughout the CD Dan McCafferty's razor sharp vocals are something Axl Rose (G'n'R) will always strive to match. For a Naz fan this is a five star effort and for those less familiar an
easy 4+. Let the party begin! Cheers!

Nazarteh, one of the only few whom is distinct, just hear the music and you know whose singing. Nazareth music is powerful but not with alot of "noise". Just plain good music, in other words just let the music do the talking.

Pull out some rockin' chairs.......2002-06-24

Made in GER in 2002, Serial# EAG-CD-204, Playing Time 72:02

First, the good news: save your money, this release will be available domestically instead of an expensive import...

Now, the bad news (and lots of them!): Even though this live album, recorded in their homeland's Glasgow, is very well recorded indeed in an intimate setting of a club with a capacity of about 600, the McCAFFERTY-AGNEW BAND (i just can't call them Nazareth any longer...) seems to have lost all of its dynamic movement.

It's been 20 years since the release of their previous official live album ('snaz), and the years gone by haven't been particularly kind to the band. The song selection is quite original, going all the way back to the Razamanaz era (early 70's!), but the renditions often lack the "crunch" and enthusiasm that makes this band an interesting live act.

Some of the songs do get a "fresh" treatment ("My White Bicycle" comes to mind), but there's this sense of "slow motion" or "burn out" transpiring through a lot of the material... Lee Agnew (bassist Pete's son) tries to energize the rest of the band with some serious drum pounding on tracks like "Razamanaz", but you can tell there's a generation gap there.

All in all, it makes for an interesting document, mostly because we get to hear some often interesting though quite different arrangements; I believe it might even have worked better if the concert would have been performed in an "un-plugged" setting.

The songs are great, but the performances somewhat tired.

Wait for the domestic release, and approach with an open mind...

STILL ROCKING THE WORLD.......2002-05-09

This is a great live cd, nazareth is still alive and kicking,
the sound on this cd is very good and you can tell that nazareth is still one of the best hard rock bands, they played songs from there new cd Boogaloo and they go way back with Hair of the dog and Razamanaz,if you ever liked Nazareth you will love this cd.
and it will be out on DVD.
