Formed in 1968 in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, Nazareth evolved out
of local attractions the Shadettes. Dan McCafferty
(vocals), Manny
Charlton
(guitar), Pete Agnew
(bass) and Darrell Sweet
(b. 16 May
1947, Bournemouth, Hampshire, England, d. 30 April 1999, New Albany,
Indiana, USA; drums) took their new name from the opening line in The
Weight , a contemporary hit for the Band. After completing a gruelling
Scottish tour, Nazareth opted to move to London. Nazareth and Exercises
showed undoubted promise, while a third set, Razamanaz, spawned two UK
Top 10 singles in Broken Down Angel and Bad Bad Boy
(both 1973).
New producer Roger Glover helped to focus the quartet's brand of melodic
hard rock, and such skills were equally prevalent on Loud 'N' Proud. An
unlikely rendition of Joni Mitchell's This Flight Tonight gave the band another
major chart entry, while the Charlton-produced Hair Of The Dog confirmed
Nazareth as an international attraction. Another cover version, this time of
Tomorrow's My White Bicycle , was a Top 20 entry and although Rampant
did not yield a single, the custom-recorded Love Hurts , originally a hit for the
Everly Brothers, proved highly successful in the USA and Canada.

Nazareth's popularity remained undiminished throughout the 70s but, having tired
of a four-piece line-up, they added guitarist Zal Cleminson, formerly of the
Sensational Alex Harvey Band, for No Mean City. Still desirous for change, the
band invited Jeff Skunk Baxter, late of Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers, to
produce Malice In Wonderland. While stylistically different from previous albums,
the result was artistically satisfying. Contrasting ambitions then led to Cleminson's
amicable departure, but the line-up was subsequently augmented by former Spirit
keyboard player John Locke. Baxter also produced the experimental The Fool
Circle, while the band's desire to capture their in-concert fire resulted in 'Snaz.
Glasgow guitarist Billy Rankin had now joined the band, but dissatisfaction with
touring led to Locke's departure following 2XS. Rankin then switched to keyboards,
but although Nazareth continued to enjoy popularity in the USA and Europe, their
stature in the UK was receding. Bereft of a major recording contract, Nazareth
suspended their career during the late 80s, leaving McCafferty free to pursue solo
ambitions
(he had already released a solo album in 1975). No Jive was an impressive
comeback album in 1992, but the band failed to capitalize on its success. In 1999,
Castle Communications reissued the band's back catalogue, complete with added
bonus tracks and alternate takes.
