Hair of the Dog
Hair of the Dog is a 1975 album, by the Scottish rock band Nazareth. It was released on A&M Records. The album was recorded at Escape Studios, in Kent, United Kingdom and is the band's biggest selling album to date, having sold two million copies worldwide.
It was Nazareth's first big hit album (aside from the minor success of Razamanaz), including classics such as "Love Hurts" (on the US version, but not the Canadian, it replaced the original "Guilty"), "Hair Of The Dog", "Beggar's Day" and "Please Don't Judas Me".
The album title is often considered to be from a shortened form of the phrase describing a folk hangover cure, (The Hair of the dog that bit you). However, according to Dan McCafferty, the title is a play on Heir Of The Dog, ie. a Son Of A Bitch. This was the title the band had intended for the album but the label didn't approve; the title track is sometimes mistakenly called "Son Of A Bitch" because of its chorus. The band has also been mistaken for AC/DC because of the voice in youtube and downloading websites.
