- In this video, we look at two versions of LOVE HURTS. Which is best? The COVER or the ORIGINAL? You be the judge!
Love Hurts - Cover vs Original - Nazareth - Everly Brothers - Which Is Better?
Which do you think is better? The original song by the original artist or an artist who covers that song?
Most people would probably answer the original song by the original artist; however, many people think a song they thought was the original is not.
There are so many examples of this, I thought it would be interesting to do an entire series on it called "Cover Songs Vs. Originals - Which Is Better?"
I think some of my findings might actually astound you when you find out songs you loved are actually cover songs from another artist.
This time we're looking at Love Hurts by Nazareth against the version by the Everly Brothers, and what we learn may surprise you!
I hope you enjoy my new series. :-)

#LoveHurts #CoverVsOriginal #Nazareth #Everly Brothers
FYI Love Hurts was actually written by Boudleaux Bryant. First recorded by the Everly Brothers in July 1960
Mr Ken, next please do which better of One More Time song sung by Richard Marx, cover by Laura Pausini.
Can you do one of To Love Somebody by the Bee Gees and covered by Michael Bolton?
You redeemed yourself just in time, Ken. Twice in the video you said that the Everly Brothers wrote this song. I was around when the Everlys did their version and when Roy Orbison did his version. I am a huge fan of the Everlys and the Big O. BUT...I agree with you. The Nazareth's version is the best. Great stuff, Ken. I have just subscribed to your channel.
nazareth really nailed it deep. they just throwed the original out of orbit
Suggestion :
next Cover vs Original -
Alone recorded by Heart
Nazareth's version just nails you right in the gut in every way, with the guitar, drums and vocals all the way through.. but have to give props to Phil and Don for making it all exist
The Everly Brothers have amazing harmonies,but Nazareth is so emotional and takes it to a different level, this song is epic,love it.
Thanks Ken👍🏻
The thing about Nazareth is that they put so much more emotion into the song which makes it really hit all the feel buttons. They took a good song and made it better.
The boys from Dunfermline rocked it. Dan McCafferty's vocal is brilliant. I'm going with the cover on this one.
Nazareth's lead singer has an incredible voice! So powerful and soulful...
I come from a musical family/background - my dad raised us on 50's tunes. (From my grandparents even way beyond that!) I cannot BELIEVE I never heard Everly version! It is very very sweet, harmony beautiful as always ❤ Nazareth took it in a different direction and I love it as well, now, with a NEW appreciation! Thank you!!
Nazareth also covered Joni Mitchell’s “This Flight Tonight” maybe that’s another good comparison.
I grew up listening to Nazareth and always really loved the raspy vocals.
Thanks for the great content Ken!
Hey Ken! The Everly Brothers version was done before we were born. Great song. Nazareth had a hit with the cover. All I can say is love does hurt!!!💔🖤😎
Hey, Ken. The singer for Nazareth, Dan McCafferty, has a voice that could cut glass. I was graduating from high school when this song became popular, and to this day I still almost stop breathing upon listening to Love hurts. Of course, the Everlys influenced many many others, and had a unique sound for the time.
When I graduated high school, that summer it was Candy-O, Slow Ride, AC/DC Highway To Hell, etc. What a summer.
I think it's brilliant that Nazareth took the song and put their own spin on it. Both are great for their eras. I've always liked the Everly brothers since I was a kid in the 60s, but had never heard this before. Excellent choice for comparisons. Thanks!
Yep, Dan McCafferty just a force of nature. So much power, grit and great tone throughout his register. Now there's a singer worth analysing, Ken. Dan is still ripping it up in his 70s. Genetics baby. For those new to Nazareth, track down : Gone Dead Train, Bad, Bad Boy, May the Sunshine, Expect no Mercy. A primal primer to Glasgow's finest.
No matter how many times I've heard the Nazareth version it still reaches in a touched my soul. I'm a big fan of the Everlys so it was surprising when I eventually learned they did it first.
Informative tidbits about who was influenced by Nazareth. Agree it sounds like Roy could have written it, something I never thought of but perhaps another reason is so compelling.
The harmonies are melting when the Everly brothers sing. Nazareth blasts through the lyrics and the emotions.
Roy Orbison did record this song on his 1962 album "Crying". But of course Nazareth version is undisputably the best! Keep up the good works!
Great choice Ken. I've seen Nazareth perform love hurts. I got to see the Everly Brothers open for S&G... I can't remember if they performed this song... I can tell you they sang great. My vote Nazareth just cause you can argue they really did add to the song... Side note - I also got to see what was his name, Nick Gilde right ? Perform brother Louie ... Thanks Ken for making remember how fortunate I am.
The original has so much 50's charm and the harmonies hit me in the tear-ducts. ...but then Nazareth makes it their signature-song with everything that made 70's rock great.
BTW, Super cool shirt, Ken
We did this one back in the club circuit days in the late 80s. Fast forward 30 years and I got an itch to learn Rockabilly guitar. ( I played Bass guitar in my metal band) so I can definitely relate and appreciate both eras. Fantastic song either way.
Hi Ken, love the video. I highly recommended listening to led zeppelins song “baby come home.” It was one of the first songs ever recorded by zeppelin but wasn’t released until coda. Anyway, plant is at his absolute peak in terms of blues vocals and I would love to see an analysis!
I didn't know that Love Hurts was an Everly Brothers song because I've always been used to hearing the Nazereth cover version. However, as a sucker for vocal harmonies, I must say that Phil and Don, Lord rest their souls, put their golden touch on this song, so props to them for introducing it to the public, whereas the high lead vocal on the Nazereth version brings more life to the song. I love both versions, so for me, this is no contest!
I agree completely.
And even though it's a cover (from Nazareth), you can hear the pain in their version.
Nazareth took a great song to a new stratosphere .... I could play Nazareth's version over and over all these years later
I am not a fan of "covers", but I must say Nazareth's is my favorite version. There is just so much emotion in the way they sang that song. They did an amazing cover of this song!
I had the great pleasure of seeing and hearing the Everly Brothers live opening for Simon & Garfunkel. SO freaking good!
That's wild that both duos were on the same bill. What a show! I saw the Everly Brothers in '94 with Kris Kristofferson opening. Their vocals were still magical.
@@khoury2000 Old Friends Tour 2003..
Kris Kristofferson!!!
My fave!
Should have been the other way around. Paul Simon pales compared the Everly Brothers.
Nazareth hands down!!!! His voice is so unmistakable!!!! Love this series you're doing!!!! Thank you so much for all these!!!!
Nossa! Quanta diferença!! 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔🙌🙏🌹💓😘😥😥🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🪕🎺🎷🎹🎧🎤🥁😇😇🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👏👏👏👏👏👏💔💔💔😭😭😭🤟🤟
Love Nazareth, had a chance to meet Dan in the 70's, I was running security at a concert in Florida, so I am a diehard fan, but do remember my older sisters having a 45 of the Everly's. had to put little plastic inserts in the 45. love this series your doing, thanks Mr. Ken, your hitting it again.
Love Nazareth's cover of this song. You can definitely feel the emotion in his voice. 🙂
While I can appreciate the Everly Brothers version for what it is, like Ken, I'm firmly rooted in the rock world since it was the soundtrack of my life. So, if stranded on a desert island with a solar power generator and a boombox, but only one song recorded on an old BASF chrome cassette tape, I'd choose the Nazareth version with no hesitation!
One of the greatest rock vocals ever!
I was just thinking today I’d love you to do a vlog on Dan McCafferty and Nazareth (freaky lol ) , or how to sing like and explain his tone , Love hurts (Nazareth) is one of my all time fav song but if you listen to the way the guitar solo weeps in and cry’s it just pure soul haunting and pulls the heart strings , a perfect example of knowing when not to over play , please more more more.
Nazareth's version hands down for me. One of my favs from them, as well as "I Don't Want to Go on Without You".
i love their version of i dont want to go on without you. has more meaning now that my true love passed away :-(
Wow! Never knew this info but Nazareth’s version is awesome!
I love both versions. I grew up with the older one, even though I'm 44.
The Nazareth version is awesome, never knew it was a cover until now, although I recognize the old version now that you played it, but like you I am a rock guy so kind of biased here, I had "Hair of the Dog" on 8 track, always one of my favorites.
Hello, always great to listen to your singing and watch the video. Awesome series on singing then and now. I liked the Kiss one with Paul Stanley. Can you do a version on country singers, maybe George Strait etc. Another great comparison, I do like Nazareth version is my favorite.
I like both! Smooth & Grit. Would like to do this as a "medley," going from one style or genre into the other. ❤
Damn Ken, the Nazareth version can take us both back in our teens. I've been using Love Hurts as a time machine for years.
Shout out to miss Melanie Baird. Who lost her life at 38 to drug overdose.. this was one of her favorite songs, and you can really feel the pain in the song.. I like nazareth's version better.. although I would like to hear Roy Orbison do the everly Brothers 👍
Nazareth 1000%. Grew up loving this song and several others. Them were the years of great rock and roll
I knew it was a cover and I do like both as I feel like they come across as different songs while being the same. However I prefer Nazareth. Reasons being, because of my dad I grew up on it, it was also my parents wedding song (one of the few they agreed on). And how I hear each version Nazareth has more emotion and passion in theirs. You hear the pain. While in the everly brothers it comes across more as an apology. The whole song is explaining why they are sorry. I think it's amazing that they made the same song give two different feelings and meanings
Rest in peace Dan McCafferty, one of the greatest rock voices and tones !
Ken, The Everly Brothers never released Love Hurts as a single. They did record it first, which was in 1960, however Roy Orbison was the first to popularize and release it as a single in 1962. (I'm sure you know all this LOL) I was shocked though, when upon a little further research, I discovered that there is like 42 versions of this song. Amazing! Great series brother!! Keep up the good work, and keep fighting the good fight for great music. You are the man Ken!!
Guys check out a Nazareth tune called Star ! They’ve so many Monster tunes , Axel rose wanted them to play at his wedding , it never happened, I seen them about10 yrs ago in Belfast and Dan the singer sounded exactly like the record , they have a new album out this month but a different singer as I last heard Dan has heart issues , WHAT A BAND .
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
and ooo so cool.!!
Gabby and Sara both covered this song and nailed it.
And Kayla Reeves
@@kentamplin
Yes that’s right. Thank you.
...that shirt! All I see is a bunch of corn bread. 🤣 ...great video as always Ken. 👍🙏
Nazareth revived this song! So good! Cover or an original? My suggestion is: "Hello" Lionel Richie and Dimash.
Hi Ken, it's interesting that you mentioned Roy Orbison, He also did a cover of this song. The first hit single was the version by Roy Orbison, who issued his cover in 1961 as the B side to Running Scared.
I always loved this song by Nazareth, it takes me back to High School, when life was so much simpler than today...I never would have guessed the Everly Brothers sang it first. Definitely prefer Nazareth.
The cover sometimes being way better than the original is much more common than i realised. As in the case of Nazareth's version of "Love Hurts", the original tale of a drug addicted Vietnam Vet - Sam Stone by John Prine, really shines when covered by Swamp Dogg, who brings such intensity and emotion to a great but tragic story that you really feel for Sam Stone and his family. This is one I would like to see you do.
In summary we always have to give props to the original creators of the work, without them, there wouldnt be anything to cover.
Obydwie wersje tego numeru, są WSPANIAŁE !!!!!!!!
I have an interesting cover/original suggestion for you: Black Sabbath, War Pigs vs Faith No More, War Pigs. I was learning drums at the time the Faith No More version came out and I already knew the Bl Sab version well. But the drummer did things in that song I couldn't figure out how to do. Thus, it became cool. Plus I think the vocals were better than Ozzy's personally. The song didn't sound like it was aged. Now, the Faith No More version wasn't popular which I find weird. I guess the radio public didn't feel you could improve on it. But that's why I'd like your take on that comparison specifically.
Another suggestion is Radar Love by Golden Earring and White Lion. Similar thing to the Black Sabbath song
Talking about these raspy voices like Dan McCafferty had, you should check Slade. Noddy Holder had one of the greatest british raspy voices ever, loads of power and guts, but he also had extremely good touching side in his voice. Songs like Everyday, How Does It Feel and My Oh My from them are good examples of that.
Everly Brothers did a great version / original for back in the day ... Naz. crushed it with their newer version (if you can call it that since its 40 years ago). the Naz version is still iconic today !
Funny personal reaction here for me. I recalled loved the Nazareth version as one of my all time favourites, and yet the Everly Bros. version knocks it out the park for me as one I'd cover with its sensitivity and heart felt message that resonates in my personal life. Thanks for bringing my attention to the origins of this song.
Nazereth version was the first song I learned on guitar 😂 and now it's my first 'tricky' song I'm figuring out how to sing 😊 it's one of my dad's favourites so gotta do it good!
I like both a lot. Ken, may I suggest The Zutons (original artist) and Amy Winehouse's cover. Also, You Keep Me Hanging On, The Supremes and The Vanilla Fudge.
Every brothers version is beautiful
very good review but lacked the version with gabriela she interpreted this beautiful song brilliantly. thanks
Nazareth never seems to receive the accolades they deserve. I'm old enough to remember when their version of Love Hurts came out. It blew everything else off the radio! Saw them live and no disappointment - fantastic band! Everly brothers are incredible too, just before my time 😉
Nazareth's version just so emotional. Hands down a better version that sounds like the song should sound.... that being said. I'd love to hear what Roy Orbison would have done with it!
Roy Orbison has a version. It was a hit for him after Everly Brothers did it.
Yeah Nazareth cover, awesome
Thanks go out to the Everly Brothers for putting this song out, I agree their version does remind me of kind of a Roy Orbison vibe.. LOVED him btw! BUT.. and it’s a big but(t) 😂… kidding.. Nazareth really NAiLED the heartache & pain and longing emotion that rightfully should be conveyed in this song imho. Always loved this one! 💔🔥
One of my favourite songs, loved Nazareth back in the day. Definitely prefer their version but I do love hearing those Everly Brothers harmonies
Dan McAfferty is absolutely unbeatable, his vocals on Vigilante Man and Alcatraz are just unbelievable. Anybody who needs an introduction to Nazareth, listen to the Razamanaz album. You will not be disappointed, it is one of the very best hard rock albums ever.
GEEZ Ken , you remind me of US (5:47-6:17) vibin to R&R HOOCHIE COO in 73 bouncin off the walls..LOL..For ME, its apples/oranges , being 15 ,1st hearing Nazareth , being able to ID with the RAW emotion in the vocal, having broke up with my first REAL love in 75...THIS would be played ALOT by chicks , who were going thru break ups as well...HATED the E bros, cause we HAD to cover some of their material in my 1st workin band in 76. Just TOO CHEESY for a 70s teen rocker..LOL Yeah, I currently listen to MANY XX vocalists on HERE covering the Nazareth version and WOW!.. they're mostly (22-35) and AWESOME ! ANDDDD.. I liked Kayababe's delivery as well...Being MUCH older now, I can at least appreciate/respect the E bros.😎
The hurt of the Everly Brothers is one that they cry about and then move on from. Nazareth's hurt is serious, adult, and one that encourages the hurting to to persevere.
Nazareth KILLED it! So much more emotion in their version by a mile. In this case, I have to give the win to Nazareth!
Oh wow. I forgot how much I love Nazareth
I really learned a Lot.....
I really enjoy your vídeos!
I would like to see you talking about Gotthard
Power music... Love Hurts clássico
Brother Louie by the Stories was I think the first 45 RPM my sister and I ever got. We would jump on our bed singing Brother Louie
DUUUUDE! You totally gotta do a video on Nazareth VS Bob Dylan for "Ballad of Hollis Brown".
That would be a whole nother level of epic!
Loving this series
Yep didn't no it was a cover either. McCafferty's voice is so classic along with Manny Charalton's playing I love all Nazereth music. I definitely go with the Razamataz band
A vocal analysis video about Anthony Kiedis would be great.
Nazareth, hands down!
New video! Great thanks Ken
In general, music does not appear from vacuum. When listening some of the groups or artists I was into in the 80's, you can now hear the traces or influences better than then. But now it is silly, in pop, R & B, dance they blatantly take sample without even trying to write on their own.
Nazareth version is an early stadium rock version, very easy to imagine the (now forbidden lame cellphones in the place of them ;) ) lighters swinging in the air. The drum sound is almost 80's.
Another song Nazareth practically speaking rewrote was Joni Mitchell's "This Flight Tonight".
I never knew the Nazareth version of this song wasn’t the original. Mad props to The Everly Brothers for being so iconic that other bands would cover their songs. With that said, I prefer the Nazareth version by far.
The comparison was a great one...AND the cover was better than the original! I'd love to see a comparison of Silk Sonic's Love's Train with the original Con Funk Shun's Love's Train. This one was a defining love song.
Definitely one of my influences and one of my favorite bands of all time!
Didn't even remember the Everly Brothers wrote this one. Props to them but it's Nazareth for me on this one!
I'll take the cover version
Was lucky enough to play a few shows with them!!! Dan McCafferty was amazing live also......
Hello Ken wonderful wonderful wonderful
Nazareths version is the one I know best and I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️it no doubt however the Everly brothers version I suppose would have gotten my attention if I had heard it in that time and era of music. Nazareth nails it and made it their own❤️❤️❤️
I love your shirt !!!! You know you're one cool dude!! Love ya bless you !😘
they are both great!!!
I didn't know it was a cover. I'd always thought when hearing the Nazareth version that it had some older influences. Hearing the original, it makes perfect sense now.
P.S. Love the shirt! I did a double take, thinking that maybe it was padded. Lol!
Love this - such a great vocal tone!
Ken, a great original vs. cover is Dream On - Aerosmith vs. Voice Play. HIGHLY recommended! Thanks Ken.
LOVE BOTH
The Everly Brothers were a little before my time, but I am familiar with a few of their songs and really like them. However, I love Nazareth's intensity.
I was just watching Dan’s recent video where he seems to be playing a boomer dad who blew it. His voice sounds so rough. It was still great but I’m just wondering if his method didn’t burn something out of his voice over the years? Oh, I take the cover hear , all day long. Miss Misery too. I often revisit that German video that’s on UA-cam, which I can’t quite tell if it’s really a live performance. The announcer says something in German and then “der Nazareth”. I almost think that nobody has ever more perfectly epitomized that style than
Dan.
So since you mentioned Jeff Keith (Tesla) how about Signs? I think it was originally recorded by Five Man Electrical Band but Tesla does a cover of it at every show plus it’s on their live acoustic album titled Five Man Acoustical Jam. Pretty good.
Great respect and appreciation for the Everly Brothers writing and recording the song. With that being said I'm more like you Ken. I really think Nazareth breathed new life into it and made it a killer song and made it their own as well. Thanks for another great video Ken. Keep rocking
I loved Nazareth singing. I can feel the pain.
I didn’t even know the everly brothers sang this song! NAZARETH 🤟🏼
Nazareth does a truly amazing cover. It sounds like a new song. Roxy Music cover of John Lennon’s Jealous Guy would be another good one to cover
I honestly thought that Nazareth wrote this song, i had no idea that Everly Brothers did the original version of it. I too prefer the Nazareth version, because i am also a rock guy, and i have always gravitated more towards that type of sound. But i can also appreciate the original, even though i get a whole other kind of vibe from it, then i do from the Nazareth one. For some kind of reason, i feel like the Nazareth version is way more emotional than the original version, don´t know why, that i just what i get from it. :)
