NAZARETH - BOOGALOO - CMC/BMG
Here is the new album from the grand daddy of them all, Nazareth. The band which directly influenced acts like Cinderella and Guns N' Roses is back and, believe it or not, these aged musicians are still rocking. There is nothing lame about this hard rocking album, as songs like Light Comes Down, Cheerleader ("legs up to her shoulders/All the way back down") and Talk Talk prove. Anyone who is a fan of the newer boogie or heavy rock bands and has never given the originators a chance will be pleasantly surprised by Boogaloo. Not bad at all therefore, and with a tour to follow this spring, the success of Boogaloo will be something to watch. - Ali "The Metallian"
