New Nazareth album ’Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone’ the band’s best received album in years
28/07/2014
Nazareth’s Rock
’n’ Roll Telephone, released worldwide in June, has been hailed by fans and
reviewers alike as their strongest studio album in years.
The UK’s leading music monthly Mojo called the album a "contemporary-sounding, classy, hard-rocking swan
song (for Dan McCafferty)”, and also proclaimed that “McCafferty signs off just
as he began back in ’68: defiant and swinging.”
Classic Rock (UK) stated that “the album is
very much in the classic Nazareth tradition - heavy, no frills rock ’n’ roll
with that rasping voice its unmistakeable signature", and the popular UK
blog Get Ready To Rock agreed that the album is "(a) wonderful
swansong (for Dan McCafferty), (f)rom the catchy opener ’Boom Bang Bang’, the
harder ’One Set Of Bones’ and the even catchier ’Back 2B4’ to the heavier ’Not
Today’ and a rocking ’God Of The Mountain’, the album pretty much sums up all
that has gone before,” and awarded RNRT four stars.
Reviews
have been universally excellent in other countries as well. German monthly Break Out said “Nazareth show all the trademarks which made them
such an outstanding band. Strong melodies, heavy riffs, groovy rhythm, catchy
refrains with lyrics which include all the main topics of life. Awesome!“, and Germany‘s Good Times made it their ‘Album of the Month‘
for June and said that “McCafferty sings full of soul and power”.
The Deluxe Digipack edition includes a second disc with two additional studio
recordings and five live tracks, and is also available in a double LP gatefold
vinyl version.
