Nazareth

'Rampant'

Mooncrest, UK, 1974

CREST 15

ONE OF NAZARETH'S COMMING of age albums. 'Rampant' showcases the band locking into a full on hard rock groove with guitars a blazing and vocalist Dan McCafferty literally coughing blood as he screams the house down. Produced expertly, by Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover the balance between material and performance is perfectly excecuted alowing every member of the band to shine brightly.

Kicking off with 'Silver Dollar Forger' the fist in the face approach is made perfectly clear and cleverly they don't take their foot off the gas peddle for the entire first side. 'Glad When You're Gone' and 'Shanghai'd In Shanghai' compound the energy level but it's the ballard 'Loved And Lost' that ups the anti considerably.

Their is one cover version; The Yardbirds 'Shapes Of Things', a huge improvement on the original (how many cover versions can you say that about?). This is possibly the best Nazareth track that nobody ever talks about - McCafferty's vocals are so astounding that you can imagine the blood verssels in his face were about to explode with rage.

Highly recommended.
