Exit From Nazareth
After leaving Nazareth in 1990, Charlton played some solo shows on the Scottish club circuit, and released his first solo album Drool in 1997, on the Red Steel record label with Neil Miller on vocals. The following year, he relocated to Texas, where he formed the Manny Charlton Band (MCB). The new outfit released a pair of albums — Stonkin and Klone This — before disbanding in 2003. Charlton then focused on solo material again, releasing Say The Word on the Scottish label River Records in 2004.
2005 saw the release of Sharp, which is on the whole a covers album, including Tim Hardin's "Hang On To A Dream" and Bob Dylan's "Shelter From The Storm". Later that year, Charlton completed the follow-up to Sharp, the aptly named Sharp Re-Loaded.
In early 2006, Charlton joined the Swedish rock band From Behind who also have the ex-Samson frontman Nicky Moore on vocals. From Behind released their debut album titled Game Over, and toured in support of the album around Europe.
As of 2007, Charlton is no longer part of the From Behind project. His latest solo album 'Americana Deluxe' was released early April and contains covers of classic songs such as "The Sea Of Love" and Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk".
2008 saw two bands touring with the name Nazareth as Manny Charlton formed an alternate version of the band, Nazareth Featuring Manny Charlton, who toured playing the songs he made famous with the original Nazareth. This created some confusion amongst the fans as there were two Nazareth shows occurring in different cities on the same night.
