MORE ON THE ARTIST & RELEASE:

The Amboy Dukes were an American rock band formed in 1964 in Chicago, Illinois, and later based in Detroit, Michigan. They are known for their one hit single "Journey to the Center of the Mind".[2] The band's name comes from the title of a novel by Irving Shulman. In the UK, the group's records were released under the name of The American Amboy Dukes, because of the existence of a British group with the same name.[citation needed]

The band went through a number of personnel changes during its active years, the only constant being lead guitarist and composer Ted Nugent.The band transitioned to being Nugent's backing band before he discontinued the name in 1975.

Origins

Ted Nugent, the nucleus of The Amboy Dukes, was born and raised in Detroit and started performing in 1958 at age 10. He played in a group called The Royal High Boys from 1960 to 1962 and later in group named The Lourds, where he first met future Amboy Dukes lead vocalist John Drake. Nugent played with The Lourds until his family moved to Illinois, where he founded The Amboy Dukes in the Chicago area in 1964, playing at The Cellar, in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights, among other venues.[They later relocated to Nugent's hometown of Detroit. The members included the following:

• Ted Nugent (lead guitar)

• Bob Lehnert (vocalist) - who released a single "Better Than Today" with the band Acrobat in 1972.

• Gary Hicks (guitar, vocals)

• Dick Treat (bass, vocals)

• Gail Uptadale (drums)

The above lineup did not release any recordings. Nugent's early guitar playing style with his signature Gibson Byrdland positioned high on his chest became an iconic playing style that visually differentiated him from other players. He combined this with his natural virtuosity and frenzied playing style on lead, adding a sonic differentiation to his unusual visual approach. This gave him an edge as a performance artist. Nugent's appreciation for his guitar inspired him to compose the song "Flight of the Byrd," which was released as a single and as part of their most popular album, Journey to the Center of the Mind.

1969

Migration saw another line-up:

• Ted Nugent (lead guitar, vocals)

• Steve Farmer (guitar, vocals)

• Dave Palmer (drums)

• Andy Solomon (keyboards, sax, vocals)

• Greg Arama (bass)

• Rusty Day (vocals, harmonica) pre-Cactus

Migration is the third studio album by The Amboy Dukes. It was released in 1969 on Mainstream Records (stereo S/6118). On this album, Rusty Day replaced John Drake on vocals and guitarist Ted Nugent, for the first time, took lead vocals on select tracks. The song "I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent" is a cover of the 1956 song by Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers.

A CD reissue was released in 1991 by Repertoire Records with two bonus tracks (REP 4178-WZ). It credits the band as "The American Amboy Dukes", the name under which the group's records were released in Britain. This CD features an edited version of 'Prodigal Man' ( bass and organ solo removed) and not the full version from the original LP. (In fact, the full version has yet to see a CD release.) There are 2 LP versions of 'Prodigal Man' digitally released. The original LP version (8:40) - drum solo, bass solo, organ solo and guitar solo and a new arrangement (8:40) - organ solo, drum solo, bass solo and guitar solo.
