I'm not sure what to think of this song. Some of it sounds good, other parts sound out of place. The drums sound like a cheap 5-piece TKO set that they got at a pawn shop. The guitars sound good. The singing sounds weird to me. Having a hard time listening to the vocals without McCafferty. His voice was a big part of Nazarth's sound.

This isn't bad, but it also isn't memorable (at least not on the first listen).

I was a huge fan of Nazareth in the 70s and still am a big fan of that era. Manny Charleston's departure was basically the end of their classic sound even though tbh it was long gone already on Malice in Wonderland. Darrel Sweet died on stage later leaving Dan McCafferty and Pete Agnew who have barely made anything interesting in the later years although their last two togather were OK..

Now it's just the bass player Pete and from the sound of this song it's time to hang it up...( actually long past time ).
But hey, I'll always have their 70s output.
