Back we go to 1976 to find Ted Nugent on his rise up the ladder.
Kicking things off with the title track, Ted sets the tone for the rest of the record with a good mid-paced rocker. This kicks into the excellent Dog Eat Dog with Derek St Holmes on vocals. Then followed by a slower groovier track with an early appearance on record by Meat Loaf. This is followed by the sides close out track, Turn it Up, which is probably the best track on the album. A great fast paced rocker which doesn’t fail to please.
Side 2 can’t keep up with Side 1, but the great I Love You So I Told You a Lie more than makes up for this. As with all Nugent albums it’s all about the guitar, and at this point in his career, Ted could make that bird land sing. The humour was a big part of Ted’s act at this time, which I don’t mind, it was the loud mouth douchbaggery that turned me off Uncle Ted as it took over the music as the quality of the albums started to wane.
7/10 from The Grooveman.
