After
cornering the hard rock market in 1975 with the international success
of Hair of the Dog, Nazareth surprised fans and listeners alike the
next year when they traded that style for a softer, more AOR approach
on Close Enough for Rock & Roll. The resulting album isn't as
successful as their previous one, but is a tuneful affair that offers
plenty of highlights for the Nazareth fan. This time out, they go for
an across-the-board experimental approach that covers everything from
their traditional hard rock to country-rock and even straight pop
tunes. The ultimate example of this experimentation is "Telegram," a
four-part rock opera about life on tour for a rock band that starts as
a frenzied rocker and ends a piano-led sing-along. Other strong tracks
include "You're the Violin," a hard rocking love song that includes
plenty of inventive guitar work to bring its music as love metaphors to
life, and "Carry Out Feelings," a poppy love lament that successfully
incorporates a reggae groove into the band's sound. Although hard rock
is downplayed in general on this album, Close Enough for Rock &
Roll does sport a few sharp rockers: "Born Under the Wrong Side" uses
driving voice box guitar riffs to create a menacing atmosphere, and
"Lift the Lid" is an effective slice of boogie rock. All in all, Close
Enough for Rock & Roll is too unfocused to fully succeed as an
album but offers solid tunes and the quality musicianship necessary to
back them up. Casual fans may want to pick up the album's radio hits on
a compilation, but this album is a worthwhile listen for the hardcore
Nazareth addict.
