Hair of the Dog

Nazareth

Gritty mid-70s hard rock defined by Dan McCafferty's legendary gravelly howl. A masterclass in blue-collar swagger, heavy riffs, and dark, whiskey-soaked blues.

The ultimate 'don't mess with me' record for anyone who likes their rock and roll with a side of whiskey and gravel.

A gritty, whiskey-soaked defiance that balances aggressive swagger with moments of haunting vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic talk box riff on the title track that mimics a mechanical snarl.
The transition into the nearly ten-minute epic 'Please Don't Judas Me' where the hard rock swagger dissolves into a haunting, sitar-like guitar drone.
Dan McCafferty's sheer vocal shred on 'Miss Misery' where his rasp reaches a breaking point of frustration.
