Nazareth are a Scottish hard rock band formed in Dunfermline in 1968 that had many hit singles and albums in Canada, the United Kingdom, and a number of other European countries beginning in the early 1970s.

[6] After getting some attention with their second album Exercises, released in 1972, Nazareth supported Deep Purple on tour, and issued the Roger Glover-produced Razamanaz, in early 1973.

[4] The non-album cover of Tomorrow's "My White Bicycle" ( a song inspired by Dutch Provos, an anarchist group in Amsterdam) was a UK Top 20 entry in 1975.

[6] Hair of the Dog, released in April 1975, was produced by Manny Charlton, ending Roger Glover's association with the band.

[4] The title track – popularly, though incorrectly, known as "Son of a Bitch" due to its hook lyric – became a staple of 1970s rock radio.

The American version of the album included a song originally recorded by the Everly Brothers: the melodic Boudleaux Bryant-penned ballad "Love Hurts".

[8] In 1979, second guitarist Zal Cleminson (previously of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band) was added to the line-up, remaining for two albums, No Mean City and Malice in Wonderland, and contributing numerous compositions.

The release of the album coincided with Nazareth's fortieth anniversary tour, which started on 25 January in Sweden and visited most of Europe, finished on 4 November 2008 in Norway.

[12] In December 2014, Nazareth announced the cancellation of several shows,[13] and later postponement of their UK tour,[14] due to Osborne contracting a virus that left him unable to perform.
