Nazareth..."Hair Of The Dog"...1975

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

I believe that "Hair Of The Dog" was the album that really introduced Nazareth to the music scene, in 1975. I had already heard "Hair Of The Dog" & "Love Hurts" BEFORE, I bought this record in February 1976. Most of the OTHER song titles really appealed to me, MORE than the TWO songs, that I had just mentioned. It is time for me to offer my review & opinions of each song as follows:

1. "Hair Of The Dog"...This TITLE TRACK is a really decent album opener. I always got a kick out of the words & the fantastic music & beat to this cut.

2. "Miss Misery"...This is one of my TOP favorite songs on this entire album. I love this meaning about a WITCHY WOMAN that has an EVIL SPELL over someone, who tries to break free from her, but CAN'T. Excellent guitar music, which could put me in mind of a song that Black Sabbath could be good on, vocally & musically. But it's Nazareth's song & it's JUST great.

3. "Love Hurts"...This song was NOT written by Nazareth. Roy Orbison & The Everly Brothers had recorded it in 1961, although I've NEVER heard it by THEM before @ all. Nazareth's remake version of this song was a TOP 10 single, that was on the charts for 14 weeks, reaching #8. "Love Hurt's" was the BIGGEST hit from this album. All & all, it's not a bad song, but it's not my favorite.

4. "Changin' Times"...This is my 2nd TOP favorite song incl., here. It is just a little over 6 minutes long. Halfway through, the tempo becomes somewhat faster & it's ALL instrumental, to the end of the song. I love the vocals, too, on the FIRST half. For some reason, this song reminds me of something that Led Zeppelin could be good on.

5. "Beggars Day"...This song WASN'T written by Nazareth, either. It was written by Nils Lofgren, who I always heard of, but I don't remember what HE'S noted for. "Beggars Day", in my opinion, TIES w/ "Miss Misery" as being my TOP favorite song. I love EVERYTHING about this one.

6. "Rose In The Heather"...This has a PRETTY title which is a short, but pretty INSTRUMENTAL. I love this, esp. w/ the strings towards the end of the tune.

7. "Whiskey Drinkin' Woman...This song is cute & rather comical @ times. It features more of a COUNTRY ROCK flavor to it.

8. "Please Don't Judas Me"...This is NOT my favorite song @ all. I'm really glad that it's the LAST song, this way I can reject it, if I choose to. I like the music, but otherwise it's too long, doom laden & downright depressing. It honestly could remind me of a JUDGMENT DAY theme & once the FEMALE backing vocals begin, it really gives me the chills up & down my spine. A really haunting song that's NOT too easily forgotten, @ least by me, or maybe many others, too.

I'm so glad that I had ordered this CD on the 8th of May, 2013...because I wanted to hear a lot of these songs again. This is a 4 star album OR 4 1/2 star album, in my opinion & it is most definitely recommended. I forgot to mention, that "Hair Of The Dog" was the very FIRST album, that I ever bought by Nazareth.

Lives up to it's reputation

Getting the right version of this album is no easy task. On one hand, it's the most abundant one out there; chances are if you are in any record store (at least any of the ones still around!) and they have a Nazareth section then you will at least find a copy of this and some Greatest Hits comp. But, this band has had their entire catalog reissued by at least two different labels with different bonus cuts on each. Needless to say, I had to buy this three times(!) to finally get the version with all the songs I wanted. Arrgh! Record company misgivings aside, this is the quintessential Nazareth album. Period. I don't think it's my favorite (jury is still out on that one) but it is still a classic and has probably the best blend of raunchy rock, blues, and pop sensibilities that the band would show over the course of their career. Kicking off with their signature tune "Hair of the Dog" you can hear pretty much most of what they were known for; heavy riffs, screeching vocals and hooks that last for days all in a little over 4min. Track 2, "Miss Misery" is one of my favorites and is a great deep cut. Now this edition has the UK/Canada edition track listing which has their strange cover of Randy Newman's "Guilty" (which A&M threw off the record and replaced it with the huge "Love Hurts" instead) before dropping back into "Changin' Times", another tune that needs desperately to be played on the radio. After a cool cover of the Crazy Horse classic "Beggars Day" we see them dip into the blues with "Whiskey Drinkin' Woman" before closing with the slow-burn classic "Please Don't Judas Me". As for the bonus cuts, a couple of single edits of "Hair...." and other cuts such as "Down" and "Railroad Boy" mixed in with the smash "Love Hurts" bring the album to a close. This is the best place to start your Naz collection. I don't think that anyone would argue with me on this. With a healthy mix of hits and deep cuts with a stong consistency from song to song this is where the journey begins.

Buona qualità dell’ incisione. Consigliato ma Niente di eccelso.

Reviewed in Italy on April 5, 2023

Mi riferisco all’ edizione AM+ (Audio master plus) su CD.

Il master è buono , dinamico e non compresso, quindi ne consiglio l’acquisto.

Trovo però che sia più soddisfacente l’ascolto da vinile, in particolare molto valida l’edizione doppio vinile su etichetta “Back on black” di qualche anno fa, a patto che si possiedano una puntina ed uno stadio phono di buon livello.

Il CD dovrebbe, almeno in teoria, suonare sempre meglio del vinile che , oggi più di prima, anche causa di uno scarsissimo controllo di qualità, è afflitto da molti limiti e difetti ben noti; in realtà spesso non è così semplicemente perché i master per vinile sono fatti meglio di quelli per cd.

Eines der ersten Metal-Alben - definitiv ein Klassiker!

Reviewed in Germany on December 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

Nachdem MANNY CHARLTON bei drei Alben Produzenten ROGER GLOVER über die Schultern gesehen hat, fühlte er sich offenbar in der Lage, selbst als Produzent in Erscheinung zu treten.
Um es vorweg zu nehmen, das hat er sensationell gut gemacht, denn "Hair of the Dog" ist ein großartiges Album geworden, das mit großem Abstand erfolgreichste von NAZARETH.

In den USA hielt es sich 40 (!) Wochen in den Charts, stieg bis auf Platz 17 und wurde mit Platin ausgezeichnet. Damit ist es bis heute das einzige Platin-Album der Band!
Dieser US-Erfolg kam aber nicht von ungefähr, er ist definitiv der Veröffentlichungspolitik des Labels geschuldet, die auf die US-Version des Albums den Mega-Hit "Love Hurts" packten, während auf der europäischen Version die Country Ballade "Guilty" gepackt wurde, die im Original von RANDY NEWMAN stammte.
Das ist durchaus eine klasse Nummer, aber kein Vergleich zu "Love Hurts", das in Europa lediglich als Single erschienen ist, auf diese CD-Version aber glücklicherweise draufgepackt wurde.

Auch sonst ist "Hair of the Dog" ein beachtliches Album, denn es gilt heute bei vielen als ein frühes Metal-Album, man könnte also behaupten, dass NAZARETH sowas wie die Vorboten der NWoBHM waren. So abwegig ist das gar nicht, denn die Songs sind extrem hart, ich möchte noch nicht von "metallischer Härte" sprechen, aber NAZARETH waren da schon ganz dicht dran.
Das kann man an einigen Songs fest machen, so beispielsweise am Titelsong "Hair of the Dog", an "Changing Times" oder "Miss Misery", bei denen sie es doch ganz ordentlich krachen lassen.

Auch auffällig war, dass sie ihre Blueseinflüsse noch stärker vernachlässigten, insofern wird das, was sich mit "Rampant" angekündigt hatte, mit diesem Album konsequent weitergeführt. Die Härte war allerdings neu, da haben sie eine ordentliche Schippe draufgelegt. Ich finde auch, dass sie sich hier und da ein wenig nach AC/DC anhören, die zwar erst 1975 ihr erstes Album veröffentlichten, aber ebenso schottische Wurzeln haben.

Ursprünglich beabsichtigten NAZARETH das Album "Son of a Bit** " zu nennen, was aber von der Plattenfirma abgelehnt wurde, die sich weigerte ein Album mit solch einem "anstößigen" Titel zu veröffentlichen. Tja, so rebellisch waren die 70er dann doch noch nicht .... nicht in allen Belangen! ;-)

Anspieltipps verbieten sich eigentlich, denn ich finde, dass man dieses Album im Gesamten genießen sollte, es ist grandios, ich würde es fast schon als Meilenstein bezeichnen.
Gut finde ich beim CD-Release, dass man die Mega-Giganten-Ballade "Love Hurts" mit draufgepackt hat, die, wenn ich schon Anspieltipps gebe, unbedingt dazugehört.
Auch den Titelsong "Hair of the Dog", die fast schon einzig verbliebene Bluesnummer "Whiskey Drinkin'Woman", "Changing Times" und den fast zehnminütigen Longtrack "Please don't Judas me" würde ich dann noch empfehlen.

Mein Fazit: "Hair of the Dog" ist ein Meilenstein des Hardrock, eines der ersten Metal-Alben, in vieler Hinsicht ein außergewöhnliches Album. Von MANNY CHARLTON erstklassig produziert, bewiesen NAZARETH damals was für eine kreative Band sie doch waren.
Für mich ist das Album ein Klassiker, es hat seit Jahrzehnten einen festen Platz in meiner Sammlung, und wird in schöner Regelmäßigkeit wieder rausgekramt, weil es einfach endgeil ist .... ohne Frage!

Génial cet album j'avais juste le 45 t de mon père (dream on) Hair Of The Dog c'est un pur album qui décoiffe en matière de Hard rock Heavy comme HOTD, Miss Misery, Changin' Time, Beggars Day un pur morceau avec des solos remarquable comme dans Please Don't Judas Me j'aime le côté bien Hard rock qui rigole pas et en même temps les Power ballad bien émouvante c'est un album abouti avec peu de titres mais efficace comme je l'aient aime pour toute les générations ça fait un moment que je l'ai j'ai pas la réédition violet je préfère plus ils sont neuf parfois plus ils sautent à part avec un bon vieux tourne disque et pas une platine j'aime pas

I've only just discovered Nazareth, which is pretty crazy considering I'm Scottish and live in a city not that from from theirs. But anyway I was already familiar with 2 of their songs via different bands (Guns n Roses who covered Hair of the Dog and Please Don't Judas Me that was covered by Metallica and Metal Church).

This album is I would say one of there best along with Razamanaz. From the opening Hair of the Dog to the closer Please Don't Judas Me. Dan McCafferty has a brilliant voice and Manny Charlton is one of the most underrated guitarists probably ever.

Cannot fault this album at all. Buy it and play it loud 🤘
