"Their debut album, very bluesy-hard rock. A 7 minute excellent version of morning dew is a must for Nazareth fans. The whole album is strong and worth picking up. If you enjoyed Rampant,Hair of the dog & loud 'n'proud you'll get your money's worth."
What a start

"Someone once told me Nazareth's first album is a good example of a lost, forgotten hard rock classic. He was right! The songwriting right from the very beginning of their career was top notch stuff. I can't think of a single weak point on the entire album. When a band starts off THIS strongly on their first album, that usually means they will go on to have a successful career. That stands true for Nazareth.
"Witchdoctor Woman" is the best way to open a hard rock album (and a bands career for that matter). Just a snappy little slice of hard rock. "Dear John" is another highlight in terms of great songwriting. "Morning Dew" has a quiet, exciting build-up. Good stuff all around. I love the chorus in "Red Light Lady" (repeatedly singing the line "I fell in love with that lady"). "Country Girl" is awesome. Just a really solid debut for a legendary rock band. There needs to be more people out there familiar with this album, that's for sure."
The Unknown Album

"This is Nazereth's first LP and probably unknown to a lot of people. Saw these guys in 1974 opening for Buddy Miles and Deep Purple. They played most of this album and blew everyone away with "Morning Dew". A DJ, Rick Shayne, played these tracks a lot on the local radio station. I like this album a lot and it's really not the type of music they wound up playing when they were popular. Good music."
