Ted nugent and the amboy dukes call of the wild

Call of the Wild is the sixth album by Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes. Recorded at Sleepy Hollow Studios in Ithaca, NY in the summer of 1973, it was the first of two albums released on Frank Zappa's DiscReet label. A new rhythm section was added with Grange and Mastrianni, adding a hard driving rock beat to Nugent's compositions for the remaining Dukes albums. Jezowski was added to the vocal mix. Magno adds some inventive keyboards and even a flute. A final Dukes single was released by the new record company, "Sweet Revenge" b/w "Ain't It the Truth".
