Cover #108: Nazareth covers "Love Hurts" by The Everly Brothers

 For most people younger than the Boomer generation, this is probably the most famous version of this song (followed by Roy Orbison's version then the Everly Brothers original).  This cover is popular for good reason- it is perfectly executed.  Phaser-tinged guitar provides a great backdrop along with drums that are hard and heavy in just the right moments.  The guitar solo is mournful and does not try to upstage the song.  It takes guts to take on a song made famous by Roy Orbison, but Dan McCafferty's plaintive vocals provide a great alternate version of this fantastic song.    ✅✅✅✅✅
