Michael Butler dives deep into Nazareth’s classic albums in this “Does It Hold Up?” twofer episode: the iconic 1975 release Hair of the Dog (yes, that title track) and the gritty 1979 powerhouse No Mean City. He breaks down if these hard rock masterpieces from Scotland’s finest still deliver the goods today – track by track, with no punches pulled in the Real School of Rock style.[podcasts.apple]
