Loud 'n' Proud is the fourth studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, and their second to be released in 1973. The album was produced by Deep Purple's bassist Roger Glover.
This album reached 10th place in the UK Albums Chart, making it the best-ranked group's album and even the first place in the Austrian charts. In 1976, it will be certified as a platinum record in Canada for every 100,000 copies sold.
The single, a repeat of Joni Mitchell's title, "This Flight Tonight", will reach 11th place in the UK charts and rank first in the German charts. Joni Mitchell, who recorded this song in 1971 for her album Blue , was very impressed by this rerun and she sometimes presented this song at concerts as a Nazareth song. [3]

Nazareth are a Scottish hard rock band formed in Dunfermline in 1968 that had many hit singles and albums in Canada, the United Kingdom, and a number of other European countries beginning in the early 1970s. The breadth of their popularity expanded internationally, including in the United States, with their 1975 album Hair of the Dog, which featured their hits "Hair of the Dog" and a cover of the ballad "Love Hurts". They have continued to record and tour internationally for more than 50 years.
Hair of the Dog is the sixth studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released on 3 April 1975.

With this record the band's sound was heavier, considering the addition of guitarist Zal Cleminson of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. It sold very well at the time, with the main single "Star", preceded by "Whatever You Want Babe". The popularity of the album allowed the band to play with several big names such as Thin Lizzy, on their 1978/79 tour. It was their first album since their second release, Exercises in 1972, not to contain at least one cover version.
