For Nazareth, Rampant (if the group ever tours the States) could have a similar effect. Starting with the churning "Silver Dollar Forger," this band of Scotsmen and a Canadian shows that, not only can they play heavy metal with the best, but that they can do a straight-ahead rock 'n' roll song ("Glad When You're Gone"), English blues/rock ("Loved -and Lost"), pseudo-psychedelia ("Light My Way"), and even a slow love song. ("Sun- Shine"),plus a nominal (and unspectac- ular) cover of the Yardbirds' "Shapes Of Things."

If there were any lingering doubts as to whether Wendy Waldman had suc- cessfully established herself as a very individual songwriting/performing talent (quite apart from her stint contributing "Vaudeville Man" and '"Mad, Mad Me" to Maria Muldaur's debut solo album), last week's string of sell-out performances at Passim's dissolved them all. Ac- companying herself on dulcimer, acoustic guitar, and piano, Wendy premiered several cuts from her soon-to-be-released third record (following Love Has Got Me and Gypsy Symphony), backed by bassist Peter Bernstein and drummerBob Mason. Judging from her live and recorded work, it may well be that Wendy Waldman has topped even her one-time benefactor, Ms. Muldaur, in distaff folk circles; she's little short of sensational.
