Bio:
Select few professionals are possessed of the skill, passion and sheer tenacity to break record after record in their chosen field. And fewer still can stake that claim in more than one arena.To millions of music lovers, Ted Nugent has carved a permanent place in rock and roll history as the guitar-shredding showman, selling more than 40 million albums, performing more than 6,400 (!) high-octane concerts, and continuing to set attendance records at venues around the globe. From the ground breaking Amboy Dukes' hit "Journey to the Center of the Mind", to classics like "Stranglehold" and "Cat Scratch Fever", Damn Yankees chartbuster "High Enough," and cult classic "Fred Bear”, Ted’s no-holds barred career spans five decades, and has been featured on A&E’s Biography and on VH1’s Behind the Music. Named Detroit's greatest guitar player of all time by readers of MLive!, Nugent performed for 55,000 marines, sailors and families at Camp Pendleton’s Rockin’ the Corps, was honored to join fellow musician Toby Keith on a USO Tour of the Persian Gulf, and has donated in excess of 6000 concerts and backstage passes to individual troops stateside.To millions of citizens, Nugent is the nation’s most outspoken proponent of our first and second Amendment rights, conducting thousands of pro-gun, pro-freedom, pro-America interviews in major media worldwide. He has served continuously on the Board of Directors of the NRA since his initial election in 1995, where he consistently sets records for amassing the highest number of votes received by an individual board member. Nugent is dedicated to preserving our great outdoor heritage for future generations, and along with wife Shemane, regularly hosts hunts for sick and terminally ill children with Hunt of a Lifetime, Hunt for a Cure, and via his own Kamp for Kids. A recipient of myriad commendations from state police, sheriff departments, FBI and police agencies, Nugent has been lauded for his Freedom’s Angels Foundation benefitting our troops, along with work as a national spokesman for D.A.R.E., Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the Pass It On Outdoor Mentors Program.Nugent has been named favorite Hunting Personality by the readers of Outdoors Magazine. He was inducted into the National Bowhunters Hall of Fame, marking the pinnacle of recognition for Nugent as a bona fide Bowhunting Legend of the 21st Century, acknowledged for his skills as an outdoorsman, and for his tireless promotion of bowhunting via his writings for over 40 publications, his New York Times best-sellers Ted, White & Blue: The Nugent Manifesto and God, Guns and Rock ‘n’ Roll, along with Kill It and Grill It, BloodTrails and BloodTrails II, and his award-winning Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild television show — seen exclusively on Outdoor Channel — where he proudly serves as Ambassador for the network.
Album:
Reviewing a new Ted Nugent album here seems futile. Judging from the overwhelmingly negative Facebook comments on our stories about the “Motor City Madman,” by now most of you have decided that he’s either an a–hole or incapable of making good music anymore. Or both.But just in case there’s a silent majority of Nugent fans out there — or for the benefit of anybody who’s somehow still on the fence about one of rock’s most divisive icons — we’re happy to report that with ‘Shutup&Jam,’ Uncle Ted has delivered an appealing, surprisingly modest record full of catchy guitar riffs and largely devoid of controversial lyrics.Now remember, we said largely. Even though he clearly doesn’t seem to be using it as an insult in any way, it’d probably have been smarter to leave the “I love my barbecue / It’s what the Pollocks do” lyric from ‘I Love My BBQ’ on the cutting room floor. Of course, there’s plenty of patriotic “oohrah” to be found in songs like ‘I Still Believe,’ ‘Never Stop Believing’ and ‘Trample the Weak Hurdle the Dead,’ but it’s only on the latter that Nugent wanders far into Warhawk territory.Besides, let’s do what the album title suggests and focus on the music itself. ‘BBQ’ is a slyly disguised tribute to early Jimi Hendrix, complete with ‘Crosstown Traffic’ “doot doot dooh”s. The first of two different versions of ‘Never Stop Believing’ features the album’s most complex and nuanced songwriting, stretching past six minutes while changing moods and tempos effortlessly. (The blues version that turns up later suits him well, too; it’s easy to see why he included both takes on the album.Other highlights include the upbeat shuffle of ‘Everything Matters’ (which makes perfect use of returning sometimes-lead vocalist Derek St. Holmes), the locomotive instrumental ‘Throttledown’ and the powerful strutting crawl of ‘Semper Fi.’ Nugent and guest star Sammy Hagar also demonstrate strong chemistry on ‘She’s Gone,’ even if you do find yourself wishing for additional lyrics about halfway through the track. Would it be too much to ask for a joint covers album from these two someday soon?Another piece of good news? Unlike nearly every other one of his peers, Nugent remembers how long a gosh-darn album is supposed to be. Even with the second version of ‘Never Stop Believing,’ the whole record races by in less than 50 minutes. In fact, fully half of the songs are wrapped up in under three minutes, just like the old Motown sides that clearly have such a strong influence on Nugent’s best music. Combine that brevity with the overall high songwriting and performance quality on ‘Shutup&Jam’ and guess what? Ted Nugent’s new album not only satisfies, it actually kinda leaves us wanting more!
