Biography

The Scottish hard rock quartet Nazareth had a handful of hard rock hits in the late '70s, including the proto-power ballad "Love Hurts." Formed in 1968, the band featured vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton, bassist Pete Agnew, and drummer Darrell Sweet. Both Nazareth and 1972's Exercises received favorable attention from British hard rockers, but it was 1973's Razamanaz that moved them into the U.K. Top Ten. Released the following year, Hair of the Dog established Nazareth as an internationally popular hard rock band. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
