The Amboy Dukes: Journey to the Center of The Mind (1968)

In the late 60's, there were more than a few groups who experimented with lyrical content that was psychedelic in nature. Looking at it 40 years later much of that content was nonsensical, however several of those groups had one song that far exceeded the rest of their output..The Amboy Dukes were out of Detroit and had a very fervent following in the Motor City, but could only make that leap to the national charts one time. One thing this group had going for it that none of the others had was Ted Nugent. Yep boys and girls, if you didn't know this already, Uncle Teddy cut his teeth with the Amboy Dukes and took them musically from your common regional garage band to something with a bit more substance. This was the only hit they had, and by 1973 Ted was the undisputed leader and the sound became much more of what you would hear from him by the late 70's. This is a clip from 1968...enjoy your Friday...
