Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes: Call Of The Wild 1973 + Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes: Tooth, Fand & Claw 1974

Call of the Wild is the next to last album by Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes.

It's Ted Nugent going through another mutation, but shows him as more diverse and adventurous than he sometimes gets credit for. It's nice to see bassist/vocalist Rob Grange stay onboard the ever changing merry-go-round here that was the Amboy Dukes.

Not as blistering as his Cat Scratch Fever, but more metallic than the psychedelia/blues of the original Amboy Dukes, the riff-jamming opening track of side two is more Jeff Beck gone rock than the quasi-Ozzie persona Nugent gleefully would embrace.

It is interesting stuff that you wouldn't expect from either the original Amboy Dukes or the madman the world knows as Ted Nugent.

Highly creative stuff that the album cover of a tiger penetrating a sleeping city hardly hints at.
The mostly instrumental second side culminates in a heavy vocal progressive rocker, "Cannon Balls."
These Amboy Dukes sides are a long way from the manic, in-your-face metal that Nugent favored after going solo in 1974; however, this LP also points to the fact that the Amboy Dukes were among the tougher, grittier psychedelic bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Amboy Dukes: Journey To The Center Of The Mind 1968

The Amboy Dukes were an American rock music band of the late 1960s and early 1970s from Detroit, Michigan, best remembered for their hit single "Journey to the Center of the Mind", and for launching the career of Ted Nugent.


The band's name comes from the title of a novel by Irving Shulman about a Jewish street gang of

the same name in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn during the 1940s. In the UK the group's records were released under the name of The American Amboy Dukes owing to the existence of a homonymous British group.


The band went through a number of personnel changes during its active years. Bassist Greg Arama died in 1979. The group helped in the foundations of heavy metal and progressive rock.
