NAZARETH are a Scottish hard rock band formed in Dunfermline in 1968 that had several hits in the United Kingdom, as well as in several other Western European countries in the early 1970s. They established an international audience with their 1975 album ’Hair of the Dog’, which featured their hits ’Hair of the Dog’ and a cover of the ballad ’Love Hurts’. The band continues to record and tour. The band moved to London, England in 1970 and released their first eponymous debut album in 1971 ’Nazareth’. After getting some attention with their second album ’Exercises’, released in 1972, Nazareth supported Deep Purple on tour, and issued the Roger Glover-produced ’Razamanaz’, in early 1973. This collection spawned two UK Top Ten hits, ’Broken Down Angel’ and ’Bad Bad Boy’. This was followed by ’Loud ’N’ Proud’ in late 1973, which contained another hit single with a cover of Joni Mitchell’s song ’This Flight Tonight’. Then came another album ’Rampant’, in 1974, that was equally successful although its only single, ’Shanghai’d in Shanghai’, narrowly missed the British Top 40. A non-album song, again a cover version, this time of Tomorrow’s ’My White Bicycle’, was a UK Top 20 entry in 1975. ’Hair of the Dog’ was released in April 1975 and was produced by Manny Charlton, ending Roger Glover’s association with the band. The title track of that album (popularly, though incorrectly, known as “Son of a Bitch“ due to its hook lyric) became a staple of 1970s rock radio.
