With a career spanning 45 years and 22 albums, Dunfermline rockers Nazareth are back with Rock ‘n’ Roll Telephone, their 23rd studio album.

It’s their first since 2011’s Big Dogz and it’s a welcome return to form featuring 11 original heavy rockers and bluesy ballads. Don’t just take our word for it though – here’s what the critics are saying.

`The album is very much in the classic Nazareth tradition - heavy, no frills rock ’n’ roll with that rasping voice its unmistakeable signature. Dan McCafferty long ago sealed his reputation as one of the all-time great rock singers, (and) if this album does prove to be his last, he’ll be bowing out with that reputation intact.’ --Classic Rock magazine (UK) April 2014

’It’s downright amazing that after 45 years of triumph and tragedy Nazareth are still making albums this damn good, still sounding fresh, vital and enthused by their own music. Rock ’n’ Roll Telephone shows that they are still operating at the peak of their powers.’ 9 out of 10 --Power Play April 2014

This may be the last album to feature original singer Dan McCafferty, who has had to stand down from touring duties due to ill health.  If this does prove to be Dan’s last stand, he retires on a high note with his legacy as one of rock’s greatest vocalists assured.

The Deluxe Digipack edition includes a second disc with two new additional studio recordings and five live tracks, and is also available in a double LP gatefold vinyl version.
