Dan and Manny went into the studio recorded vocals n guitar drums n bass done later original release of hair of the dog was to be named son of a bitch with a track called guilty I have it. Love hurts was put on retitled hair of the dog for USA release. Love hurts was never played live the same as on the album. Hair of the dog is a Scottish slang

[@jimmyjennings4089]

One of the saddest most truthful songs I've ever heard, the perfect voice to sing this song, and the crying guitar still gives me chill bumps.

[@rickhh100]

Dan passed away last year and while he dealt with health issues somehow he kept that voice late in life. One of the best ever!

[@stevenshropshire5819]

Both Brian Johnson (AC/DC) and Axl Rose (GNR) stated that Dan was their main influences on their voices.

[@timhays2086]

Strange because I saw them in the early 90s and his voice was horrible. I felt bad for the guy.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

@@timhays2086 I saw him on the early 2000’s and his voice was perfect.

[@timhays2086]

To be honest, I don't know if it was Dan I saw. I went to a Nazareth concert. I am not a big follower, so I don't know if it was him or a different singer.

​@timhays2086 I saw them in the early 90s too, and he sounded good when I saw them.

[@richvargo8889]

I’m 56 years old grew up listening to this song and I can listen to this over and over. I do have to say that hair of the dog album is one of the best albums ever from anybody

[@stevenlemons2602]

I'm 59 and I agree. Top shelf

[@EricBoston1992]

I have 1-2 copies on vinyl, awesome album! I’m only 31, but it’s clear that the mid-late-20th century had vastly superior music. - I mostly listen to 50s-70s, with a good amount of 80s, a little 90s, and just a SMALL handful of 00’s-2010’s songs. (Finding good music released in this current century is almost a lost-cause, but there are some gems here & there).

[@Asgulria]

Dan is one of the vocalists that created his own stamp in the music world. He has a distinctive voice that I love. RIP, brother.

[@Upsidedownguitar63]

So, you finally got to Nazareth (formed 1968)...Dan's voice was before Bon Scott by 5 years(1973) and decades before Axel Rose (1985)...yet he was the influence for that power, high, sustaining, raspy, knocks your socks off vocals. In fact, they were out the same time as Led Zeppelin, 1968. To me Dan's voice will always be right up there, if not number one, for power and emotion. When he sang you felt it. I saw Nazareth 4 times in the 70's...and let me tell you..live was incredible!

[@stevennewman4778]

Like a blues guitarist he knew how to make you feel the music, not just hear it.

[@Kgio-2112]

Bon Scott isn't a good comparison. Brian Johnson is. Definitely axl rose.

[@stuwardw]

Bon was more sleazy than raspy. Definitely comparable to Brian johnson, though

[@sunnystormy4973]

-axl * not : " axel "-

[@NZLatic]

Don’t forget Graham Bonnet and the Marbles back in 1969 releasing Only One Woman. His voice was very similar and he was around in 1968 doing his thing

Been wondering when you would get around to these guys. This is the core music of my youth. A very good band to see live in the day. Thank you

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

One of the very few hard rock vocalists who kept his voice intact throughout hos 50 years in show business. It was perfect for the pantsdripping ballads and the hard core hard rock belters.

[@wendymotogirl]

Not that hard when you don't have much of a voice lol. He was ok. Most of their music was utter crap but they had some really great moments, like this one.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

@@wendymotogirl Copyed from the vocal planet: “Dan's voice in its prime, in the 1970s, was definitely something to behold; his signature being resonant, raspy fifth octave wailing akin to the likes of Brian Johnson, Dan's voice having a few extra benefits like being weightier, chestier, and his technique a bit more refined. Past his prime, since the 1980s, Dan started refining his cleaner vocals more, more often singing in a wistful tone and reaching into his surprisingly dark low register more often. Despite developing more areas of his voice, Dan never seemed to lose his ability to sound raspy, meanwhile accumulating quite the vocal range for himself over time. His health took a rather steep drop in the late 2000s, because of his smoking habits, and he retired from touring with Nazareth in 2013, lending his weathered but great voice for one last album "Rock 'N' Roll Telephone", leaving behind one of the most respectable legacies in the history of rock music. at 70-years-old, Dan claims he's still not done yet, though, as he occasionally still performs around the world when he can and has toyed around with the idea of another studio album.”

For another Scottish singer from the 70s, check out James Dewar singing on Robin Trower- "Bridge of Sighs". Dewar's vocals are excellent and Trower's melancholy soulful guitar fits the idea of somebody crossing the bridge of sighs in Venice.

[@glenngastonjonsson7954]

The beauty of it. Mr Dan McCafferty, a true star, Mr Manny Charlton made the guitar weep. May they both rest in peace.

Wow, Beth, what a great reaction. And this is the music of my junior high years and I saw them live at some point then and loved it. But I love listening to this because the singing is incredible and also the background vocals are really nice. And I loved all the things that you pointed out. And that diagram of the anatomy, by virtue of its simplicity, is actually I think one of the easiest to immediately understand compared to so many. Although there is one slight graphical mistake in it, and it's where the line pointing out where the esophagus is actually passes on through the esophagus and back to the trachea. But it doesn't have an arrowhead on it and so I assume that's just a graphical oversight. I'm a musician of many years but I always learn something new about singing whenever I watch your reactions and I just thought this one was particularly good, plus I absolutely love this song.

"Love Hurts" is a song written and composed by the American songwriter Boudleaux Bryant. First recorded by the Everly Brothers in July 1960, the song is most well known in two hit versions by UK artists; by Scottish hard rock band Nazareth in 1974 and by English singer-songwriter Jim Capaldi in 1975.

I first learned of Nazareth in the early 70's and This Flight Tonight, then from this song. I saw Nazareth in concert twice at the Iowa Jam in the late 70's. I do recommend Dan McCafferty's final album No Turning Back.
