Editorial Reviews

News is the 2008 release from the acclaimed Scottish rock band with 13 tracks and is their first studio album in over 10 years. Nazareth was formed in Dec. 1968 in Dunfermline, Scotland out of the ashes of the semi-pro local group, The Shadettes, who formed in 1961 by vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charleton, bassist Pete Agnew and drummer Darrell Sweet. They gained their name from the 1st line off The Band's classic song 'The Weight'...'I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling about half past dead...' They went on to record such rock classics as 'Love Hurts', 'Hair Of The Dog' and 'This Flight Tonight'. 2008 marks the 40th anniversary of when Nazareth first took the stage in Scotland in 1968.

This is a great heavy rockin' album from start to finish. Good to hear them all playing so well after all these years. Great, mean vocals too. Right up there with their best Hair of the Dog and Expect No Mercy!!!

For other new albums from old timers who still rock hard n' heavy:

Uriah Heep - Wake The Sleeper 2008
Mountain - Masters Of War 2008
Michael Schenker - In The Midst 2008
Blue Cheer - What Doesn't Kill You 2007
Project Moonstone(supergroup) - Take A Stand 2006
Randy Holden - Guitar God 2006

First of all i don't know why Amazon is advertizing this cd as a single, it is a full length cd. To the reviewer complaining about the Bush Bashing, muscians have freedom of speech too, get over it buddy. My complaint about this record-TOO MANY BALLADS! Nazareth is long removed from The Mainstream,no chance of a radio hit, so they should do their old fans a favor and record cds that ROCK HARD all the way through. If you are new to this band don't start here, start with "Hair Of The Dog", "Rampant","Close Enough For Rock And Roll" or even the more recent "Boogaloo". This record is ok, but not worth paying a high price for.Also,maybe to complete a collection for a hard core fan.
