Nazareth is a Scottish four-piece most famous for its classic rock rendition of Love Hurts. It is widely regarded that the band were true trailblazers of Scottish rock and on-stage fashion.
Formed in 1968, the band consisted of vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton, bassist Pete Agnew, and drummer Darrell Sweet. It released three albums in 1971, 1972 and 1973 with the latter named Razamanaz that entered the top ten in the UK.
In 1975, the band released its most successful album titled Hair of the Dog which sold over 1 million copies in the United States and propelled them into international hard rock stardom.
Throughout the remaining decade, the band released a series of albums that settled in the top 100. The band had some line up changes but was left without a recording contract by the mid-80s.
Nazareth re-appeared in 1995 with an album called No Jive and again in 1999 with Boogaloo. Both albums failed to gain a sizeable audience in Europe or the States. To add more grief to the band, during its supporting tour of Boogaloo, drummer Sweet collapsed and died. The band cancelled the tour but eventually decided to continue by adding Lee Agnew (son of Pete) to the fold. Nazareth toured with Uriah Heep and played a sold out show in its native Scotland in 2001.
Nazareth continues to tour throughout Europe.
