Amboy Dukes (1974) Sweet Revenge
Though now rechristened as Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes after their now famous guitarist frontman's early 70s solo fame, this track features him blending Pete Townshend-esque windmill chords with some Pre- Van Halen fret work, its a heavier more subdued version of the band that had a psychedelic hit in the mid 60s. The best track could also be the instrumental Below the Belt that retains some of the band's psychedelic sound with the use of woodwind alongside a Dick Wagner/ Mark Farner Detroit sounding heavy metal playing by Nugent ; an authentic industrial sound similar to Sabbath, maybe Detroit and Birmingham should be twin cities.
