Rampant (album)

Rampant is the fifth studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in 1974. It was their third album to be produced by Roger Glover, and proved to be the last time they would work with him.

The track "Loved and Lost" was sampled by DJ Shadow on "Enemy Lines" from his 2011 album The Less You Know, The Better.

Background

It was recorded in 1974 on the shores of Lake Geneva in Montreux, Switzerland, with the help of the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio and produced by former Deep Purple's bassist Roger Glover, whose last collaboration was with the group.

With this album, Nazareth make a slight musical change incorporating Southern rock intonations into some of their songs ("Glad When You're Gone", "Jet Lag" or the title that opens the "Silver Dollar Forger"). AllMusic critic Donald A. Guarisco compares the sound of the album as a cross between the sound of early AC/DC albums and Lynyrd Skynyrd's most "Hard rock" titles.
