Nazareth (Official Thread)

[Nololob]

Demo version


and finally by Billy Rankin, member of Nazareth in the early 80s and early 90s.

So three and a half out of 6 band members of a new cover project had a discussion on covers we might want to do and so I put out Hair of the Dog. Two others (one didn't post anything, but talked with other), brought out couple of pop-punk tracks, and another two classics, Kansas "Carry~" and BOC's "Don't Fear The Reaper". I am hoping that we all will agree on Nazareth (as well as our tutor on using phrase "son of a bitch") and if so, I am willing to sort of re-create this live version using distorted bass instead of talk-box.



Wish me some luck, I need it now!

Storm Warning



Demo recorded in 1972-73. Contains guitar parts, which were later used in Sold My Soul. Great track.

Probably the best track from the Exercises era.

Sorry, but I'll have unsubscribe from this thread...some of this stuff isn't the Nazareth I knew. Good luck, all.

 

[Nololob]

What is the Nazareth you know then?

Exercises the only 70's LP I don't have on either Vinyl or CD or both. In fact I haven't even heard any of it. I'll have to listen to it later.

This,Exercises, the only 70's LP I don't have on either Vinyl or CD or both. In fact I haven't even heard any of it. I'll have to listen to it later.

To be honest - some songs are good on this album, the first version of Woke Up This Morning, Called Her Name and Fool About You, but if I had to pick the worst Naz album it would be Exercises. At the time they experimented with folk and acoustic sound, which I don't enjoy that much.

I like a bit of folk, the more traditional Celtic and other European styles, mixed into rock, when done well. I also like some of the American Bluegrass-ish type of folk, forget what it's called at the moment...so I may like this as a one off.

TBH, I hate their poppy stuff from the 80's ( as I'm quite sure you are aware of by now ) so I may like it much better then that era.

I'll have to DL and give it an ear.
