Ted Nugent first came to prominence in the 1960�s when he was the lead guitarist for The Amboy Dukes. Their hit singles, �Journey To The Center of The Mind� and �Baby Please Don�t Go� made them one of the big bands out of the Midwest in that era before Nugent stepped out on his own as a solo artist. In the 1970�s a string of incomparable rock albums Ted Nugent, Free For All, and Double Live Gonzo, along with his biggest hit album and single Cat Scratch Fever, secured Nugent�s reputation as a legend and icon. In recent decades his politics, love for hunting and activism have become equally recognized as his musical accomplishments. His concerts sell out around the world and he continues to record and tour for his loyal and enthusiastic fans.
