Nazareth Close Enough For Rock 'n' Roll CD album

Close Enough for Rock ’n’ Roll is the 1976 studio album from Scottish hard‑rock legends Nazareth, showcasing the band’s gritty vocals, blues‑driven riffs, and melodic swagger at full strength.
The album opens with the ambitious multi‑part suite “Telegram”, a fan‑favourite that moves through touring life, backstage chaos, and rock ’n’ roll mythology with trademark Nazareth bite. The rest of the record blends tough, road‑worn rockers like “Vancouver Shakedown” and “Lift the Lid” with more reflective moments such as “Homesick Again” and the soulful closer “You’re the Violin”.
This 2022 European CD reissue from BMG/Union Square Music offers a clean, modern presentation of a classic mid‑70s hard‑rock album.
