Nazareth are a band I sometimes find a tad 'meat and potatoes' for my taste but I kept this one, and playing it I remember why.
There's a bit more attention to detail with the arrangements, culminating in the slow-burn, progressive-tinged blues epic 'Please Don't Judas Me'...their creative high-watermark as far as I'm concerned. The title track is also a pretty definitive summary of their more hell-for-leather tendencies and other songs have many interesting touches...witness the anthemic guitar-lead finish of 'Changin' Times'. The cover of 'Love Hurts' was the big hit...but it was never on the UK version of the album, and I don't think it fits.
Wondering if there's any other fans of this album here.
