A Little Bit About Manny Charlton

Manny Charlton's fluid, blues-based guitar stylings first came to the attention of a wide rock audience with the release of Nazareth's self-titled debut album in 1971. Tours opening for Deep Purple, and their own headlining gigs soon secured their growing reputation for delivering bone-crunching rock with surprising melodic flourishes. Their 1973 album "Razmanaz", featuring production by Deep Purple's Roger Glover, established Nazareth as rock heavyweights with such tunes as the hit singles "Broken Down Angel", "Bad Bad Boy" and the album's title track. They followed up this success with "Loud N' Proud" in 1973, and had another hit with a hard-rock version of a Joni Mitchell song "This Flight Tonight". 1974's "Rampant" was their next, well-received album. Their breakthrough album, "Hair of the Dog" followed in 1975, and brought the band their first worldwide radio mega-hits. Nazareth was now in the same league with their mentors Deep Purple, and the result was non-stop touring to sell-out audiences practically everywhere. Nazareth was to continue releasing albums and touring throughout the 1980's with the addition of 2nd guitarist Zal Cleminson and Billy Rankin, as well as noted keyboardist John Locke. But, by 1990, after a tour of Russia, Manny Charlton had had enough, and quit Nazareth to pursue a career as a producer and solo artist. In 1999, original drummer Darryl Sweet died from a heart attack at the age of 51. The forthcoming Nazareth tour will be the first to feature founding guitarist Manny Charlton in 18 years. Nazareth's faithful fans as well as younger fans everywhere will be eager to experience once again to taste the "hair of the dog" in all its live glory.
