There are very few classic rock singers that you recognize after they have sung just a few notes. One of them is the voice of the former singer of the Scottish rockers Nazareth: the legendary Dan McCafferty. After nearly fifty years of working on the road with the band, Dan had to retire for health reasons. However, this unique instrument, his voice, is still capable of blowing the roof off. With fifteen tracks, "Last Testament" is a stunning album with a complete mix of lyrical and musical styles. There are, among others, rock songs, "My Baby" and "Bring It On Back" for example, but at the heart of this recording lies a newfound freedom to explore creative avenues. There are reflective songs like "You And Me," "Looking Back," and the very emotional first single "Tell Me" plus "Sunshine" (sung by Pete Agnew, his bandmate from Nazareth, guesting on the track), which are tender love songs. Dan teamed up with Czech composer, accordionist, and keyboard maestro Karel Marik, who wrote all the music and produced the album. Dan wrote all the lyrics. Recorded and mixed at the Substation studio in Rosyth, Scotland by sound engineer Duncan Aitken and performed by Eike Freese at Chameleon Studios in Hamburg, "Last Testament" is an exceptional album that will surprise, challenge, and delight its countless fans around the world.
