Nazareth-The Newz (2008)

After more than forty years, in 2008 Nazareth released their twenty-first album, "The Newz", ten years after their last studio album, "Boogaloo" (1998), which was also the last to feature founding member Darrell Sweet, who passed away at the end of 1999. By the time of this new release, the band had added two new members: drummer Lee Agnew and guitarist Jimmy Murrison. Together with founding members Pete Agnew (bass) and Dan McCafferty (vocals), they created one of their most acclaimed and critically acclaimed albums, beloved by their countless fans. Here, they once again demonstrate their tremendous skill in blending different styles and influences with a masterful display, combining everything from hard rock and classic rock to melodic rock and country rock. A string of memorable songs make up an exquisite and highly enjoyable album such as "Keep On Travellin'", "Road Trip", "Goin' Loco", "Day At The Beach", "Liar", "Mean Streets", "Gloria" or "Warning", which would once again put them at the forefront of world rock.
