Re: Nazareth~Who like them?
Me! Me! and Me! I'm a long time fan of this terrific band! As most folks that I knew chose 'Hair of the Dog' to pick up first, which is one of my favorites of Nazareth, too, the first Nazareth lp that I bought was
'Razamanz'! I was hooked from the first spin of that vinyl on my old, vintage hi fi record player.
I must've wore that first lp out in a couple months from playing it so much. I've kind of made up for that tho, by having a few editions of the CD!
I was also very fortunate in having the opportunity to see them in concert on the 'Expect No Mercy' tour, which I have fond and vivid memories of!
I kind of feel, to a certain extent, that Dan's voice is like a fine wine, an acquired taste, which also gets more unique with age, too!
Although his voice might not be for everyone, or many, I've always enjoyed it immensely and find myself singing along with many of the songs, even today.
Experiencing the original band back then does make me more partial to the earlier material. I will always remember those releases, the concert and also quite a lot of their music with deep feelings of great music played fantastically, with a terrific band that played with close togetherness.
I do miss the drummer Darrell Sweet who passed away some time ago. He was a steady, dependable drummer, along with Pete Agnew both were an extremely solid rythm duo. I also remember hearing a while back that there was a falling out with Manny Charlton that was fairly messy.
