Customer Reviews

Best Nugent album in awhile
This is easily Ted Nugent's best album since the '70s. It blows previous albums such as Penetrator and Little Miss Dangerous out of the water. Getting Derek St. Holmes back in the fold was a smart move as Ted sounds rejuvenated here. There's lots of good songs here like "Heart and Soul", "Hot or Cold", "Thighraceous", and "Lovejacker." Longer tracks such as "Tooth, Fang, and Claw" and "Fred Bear" are as strong as the songs on his '70s albums. Some of the other tracks such as "Wrong Side of Town", "Primitive Man", and "Just Do It Like This" aren't up to par with the rest of the album. Still this is a return to form as the good far outweighs the bad.

Great CD for a Non-Nug fan as well...
I'm a female that does not proclaim to be a Ted Nugent fan. I'm not a gutair player so I can't say this music has difficult or inovative licks. I not that familiar with Ted's older stuff so I can't make that comparison either. I'm not a hunter. However, I sincerely and completely love Spirit of the Wild. I listen to it daily (at work, in the car, heck, I even jog to it) and have yet to get tired of it. My personal favorites are Tooth, Fang & Claw, Fred Bear, Heart & Soul, and Spirit of the Wild although I like them all. I got the extreme pleasure of seeing Ted at a small county fair. Amazing performance! He "warmed up" for Bad Co. Let's just say, when Ted was done and Bad Co. started, it was so anti-climatic, I had to leave. Not sure exactly why I relate to this particular CD so much but I do know it makes me feel good.

Come on, come on, come on, come on baby!
This album marks the return to familiar waters (like a salmon going upstream) for Ted Nugent...good music! We lost Ted there for a decade or so but SPIRIT OF THE WILD sets things right. Ted Nugent is an American music treasure and this album may help remind folks that ole Terrible Ted is still alive and kicking (and licking if the mood is right I'm sure). The songs have a theme that will remind the listener of the Amboy Dukes days, hunting, dominance, guns and the outdoors. The music is fresh and crisp, Ted's guitar work just keeps getting better. Derek St. Holmes returns and the magic just comes right back. The production methods were modern and polished, this was a ground up effort, not just some of his old music slapped onto a CD format without digital remastering. There are some people who will NOT like this album...Janet Reno, Jessie Jackson, Sarah Brady, The Crips and Bloods, NAACP, Yaser Arafat, IRS, the United Nations and all those liberals to name a few, he explains his attitude towards these people and institutions on track 9, I have to agree with him! The 80's were a disaster for Ted, this release and the 1997 release of LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH 79 have re-energized this Rock and Roll warhorse.The Great Gonzo hath returned! Long Live Ted!
