Nazareth The Singles (2-CD)

2012 two CD collection from the Scottish Hard Rock band. Perhaps the secret of the Dunfermline band's success was singer Dan McCafferty's versatile voice, which ranged from a tender croon to a Blues-soaked wail, hitting all points in between. Maybe it was Manny Charlton's mastery of the guitar, which covered Hard Rock territory as easily it encompassed balladry - and don't forget the deft rhythm section of bassist Pete Agnew and the late drummer Darrell Sweet, who gave the music so much groove. What we can be sure of is the fact that from their beginnings as a group finding it's sonic feet, via the stadium years and on to their current status as veterans, Nazareth have always delighted the faithful with their singles.
