Review
Everything about Hair of the Dog, from its’ Roger Dean-like album cover, to the huge, mountain-air sounds contained within, screams large with a capital L. A few things to recommend here - "Love Hurts", their mammoth rework of the old ballad which was their contribution to power ballad-dom, the talk-boxin' title track, their greatest contribution to the data bank of sleaze guitar songs which would really come to prominence in the 80's, and a general heavy, hard-rock atmosphere that would prove to sell big in the 70's and be massively influential years later. There are Nazareth albums before and after this one that are far more representative of the band, but somehow, like it or not, Hair of the Dog has become the flag ship of the franchise. The U.S. CD edition omits “Guilty”. Subsequent editions contain this track and list “Beggar’s Day” and “Rose in the Heather” as one combined track, especially the 30th anniversary edition, if you happen to come across it.
