Hey thanks a ton for this one, Willy!! I remember when I first heard 
Nazareth's TFT on the radio & broke out into a big 'ol grin. They DO take it 
to a totally different place, and probably their sales alone made Joni a rich 
lady!
Plus, as those who've been following the Covers series can attest, Nazareth's 
take has "inspired" many other metal bands to take on TFT, with mixed 
results. I was just listening to Doogie White's version yesterday (on the 
Nazareth tribute CD no less!).
And I STILL think that Nancy Wilson, with her love for Joni, took that 
Nazareth guitar intro and fashioned her own "Barracuda" with it.
