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. Bob NP: Jerry Granelli/Jamie Saft: "Rainy Night House"
