Nazareth (band)
Nazareth are a Scottish hard rock band formed in Dunfermline in 1968 that had several hits in Canada, the United Kingdom, and a number of other European countries in the early 1970s.

They have continued to record and tour for more than fifty years.

Exercises (album)
''Exercises'' is the second studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in 1972. Although their music is most accurately described as "blues-tinged hard rock" (CD liner notes), this record is quite far from the band's more standard fare, featuring, quite surprisingly, a number of acoustic arrangements, several songs with orchestral strings, and traditional Scottish airs. Indeed, the album's "1692 (Glen Coe Massacre)" is about a real incident in Scottish history, namely, the massacre of Glencoe. The album is also significant for its Roy Thomas Baker production—only his third project, and well before his breakthrough works with Queen in the mid-seventies—and its oddly 'new wave' cover-art (designed by CCS Associates). An early version of the Razamanaz song, "Woke Up This Morning", also makes an appearance on Side 1. There were no cover versions on the album: it wouldn't be until their 10th studio album, ''No Mean City'', that there was another album tota ...

Vigilante Man
"Vigilante Man" is a song by Woody Guthrie, recorded and released in 1940 as one of his ''Dust Bowl Ballads''. The song is about the hired thugs ("vigilantes") who would violently chase away migrants to California trying to escape the Dust Bowl, a man-made ecological catastrophe in the American Great Plains during the 1930s. One verse refers to the murder of Preacher (Jim) Casy, a central figure in John Steinbecks' 1939 novel ''The Grapes of Wrath''. The tune was taken from "Sad and Lonesome Day", a song made popular by The Carter Family, which itself borrows from "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" by Blind Lemon Jefferson. Recordings The song has been recorded several times, including: * 1940Woody Guthrie, on the album ''Dust Bowl Ballads'' * 1972Ry Cooder, on the album ''Into the Purple Valley'' * 1973Nazareth, on the album ''Razamanaz'' * 1988Bruce Springsteen, on the album '' Folkways: A Vision Shared'' * 1990 Hindu Love Gods, on the album '' Hindu Love Gods'' * 1996feedtime, ...
