Love Hurts was also a cover, did not know that till recently. It was also covered by of all people, The Everly Brothers in 1960. Saw it on the recent documentary "Country Music" by Ken Burns on PBS. Very good show even if you are not a fan of country. I highly recommend although it is long, 8 episodes at 2 or more hours a piece.

Good song...there is a video on YT with the same blue background as Cpt.Beefheart vids of very early songs..live...album representation.
Traffic drummer Jim Capaldi did Love Hurts too?

I've known Nazarteh for a long time only as a band name connected with the two songs - Love Hurts and Hair of the Dog. That was the case too when I had a chance to see them live twice in the 90's (1993 and 1998). Well, then I put the band in my list for later consideration.
This happened in 2010's when I've examined in depth their discography. Wow, so many jewels I've found that immediately placed Nazareth in my all time hall of fame.

Aside from their classics of the 70's, I'd like to recommend their superb album "Boogaloo" (1998).

Here are my top 10:

1. Miss Misery (from Hair of the Dog)
2. Hair of the Dog (from Hair of the Dog)
3. Dream On (from 2XS)
4. Nothing So Good (from Boogaloo)
5. Beggars Day (from Hair of the Dog)
6. Vigilante Man(from Razamanaz)
7. Where Are You Now (from Sound Elixir)
8. Kentucky Fried Blues (from Expect No Mercy)
9. Light Comes Down (from Boogaloo)
10. The Ballad of Hollis Brown (from Loud 'n' Proud)
+
11. Claim to Fame (from No Mean City)

What about this performance? I was speechless when I discovered it several years ago:

Yeah agree NAZARETH a good solid mainly Scottish heavy rock band from the 1970s & 1980s (they are still around I believe in some form or other?).

Favourite albums?. All of them but especially Razamanaz 1973, Loud And Proud 1973, Hair Of The Dog 1975, Expect No Mercy 1977 & No Mean City 1979.

Dan McCafferty the front man vocalist possibly had the most powerful ear shredding voice in 1970s rock that sounded like a slashing razor blade!!.
