NAZARETH – Loud & Proud! Anthology Box Set [3-CD remastered] (2018)
While NAZARETH are recording a new album, BMG just released “Loud & Proud! Anthology Box Set [3-CD remastered]” that celebrates 50 years as a band of those hard rocking Scots.
The set offers a snapshot journey through the band’s five-decade career with key tracks chosen from each of their studio albums.
Nazareth were formed in the late 60′s, from the ballroom cover band The Shaddettes, and the original line-up of vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton, bassist Pete Agnew and drummer Darrell Sweet turned professional at the turn of the ’70s, with their eponymous debut following shortly after.
The Nazareth sound was a hard bluesy rock with Dan’s whisky-soaked gravelly vocals. Their breakthrough, following a tour with Deep Purple, was the Roger Glover produced Razamanaz that spawned the hit singles ‘Bad Bad Boy’ and ‘Broken Down Angel’.
Later covers of ‘Love Hurts’ and ‘This Flight Tonight’ would also be era defining.
Later line-up changes would include the addition of second guitarists Zal Cleminson (ex-SAHB), then Billy Rankin, and Spirit pianist John Locke. Billy replaced Manny in the ’90s, before in came guitarist Jimmy Murrison and keyboard player Ronnie Leahy.
After Darrell Sweet’s death in 1999, and more recently Dan’s retirement due to ill health, the current line-up features Pete Agnew, guitarist Murrison, drummer Lee Agnew and vocalist Carl Sentance.
Nazareth continue to tour.
“Loud & Proud! Anthology Box Set [3-CD remastered]” is the perfect start for the new generation of rockers to discover this legendary band, and for everyone to have a complete Nazareth career-spanning set.
