| It is easy to overlook what a rock legend guitarist/sometimes singer Ted Nugent is. Nugent in recent years has become more famous for his pro-NRA, Republican agenda than his music. That is a shame because he still is one of the best guitarist in all of rock with his hard rock/R & B style of playing. Nugent's early solo albums with Derek St.Holmes on lead vocals for most tracks are some of the finest albums in all of hard rock. Since the 80's, however, his work has been medicore with some albums such as Sprit of the Wild being among his best work and stuff like If You Can't Lick Em, Lick Em being an embarassment. On the Ultimate Ted Nugent you get to hear most of his better songs off of his debut, Free For All, Cat Scratch Fever, Weekend Warriors, State of Shock, Scream Dream and a couple of his classic live discs. If you are only a casual fan of the Nuge or unfamiliar with most of his work, this is not a bad place to start. |
