Ted Nugent before the (hilarious!) reality shows and (also hilarious?) Cat Scratch Fever. This is the second Amboy Dukes record which follows in the wake of the psych hit Journey To The Center Of The Mind. Because of this it is often, and unfortunately overlooked. Although it does not contain the same level of drug-laced psychedelia of its predecessor, (likely due to Nugent's influence- an ardent anti-drug campaigner) it is an unbelievably worthwhile listen. Although the entire album deserves attention ("Inside The Outside" is a fantastic track as is "Shades of Green and Grey") from fans of late 60's psych rock and Nugent fans alike, the gem of this particular album is the band's clever two minute long cover of Frankie Lymon's "I'm Not A Juvenile Delinquent." All in all this record is a total gem and worth getting your hands (and ears!) on.
