Learn Amboy Dukes - 1969 [1991] Migration

Migration is the 3rd studio album yesteryear The Amboy Dukes. It was released inwards 1969 on Mainstream Records (stereo S/6118). On this album, Rusty Day replaced John Drake on vocals. The vocal "I'm Not Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Juvenile Delinquent" is a encompass of the 1956 vocal yesteryear Frankie Lymon too The Teenagers.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 CD reissue was released inwards 1991 yesteryear Repertoire Records amongst 2 bonus tracks (REP 4178-WZ). It credits the band equally "The American Amboy Dukes", the advert nether which the group's records were released inwards Britain.

The most prominent characteristic of Migration (the Amboy Dukes' 3rd recording, originally released on Mainstream records) is the lack of a spaced-out follow-up to the group's biggest hit, "Journey to the Center of Your Mind." Perhaps "terrible" Ted Nugent was starting to win the drug nation of war that was offset to wage inside the band, a nation of war that would ultimately claim to a greater extent than than a few commutation lineup casualties. No affair the reason, Migration -- amongst it's less opaque drug references too full general grooviness -- was given a cool reception at tape stores equally listeners maybe became slightly confused close the Michigan band's intentions land pondering Nugent's relatively eclectic musical approach. Case inwards point: the spot-on version of Frankie Lymon too the Teenagers' "I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent." Besides this bizarre precisely affective cover, other highlights include the instrumental opener "Migration" too ane of Nugent's all-time favorite songs, "Good Natured Emma." More ambitious than the group's huge-selling attempt from the yr before, "Migration" mightiness hold upward the improve of the 2 discs, if non the best of the Amboy Dukes' career.

The aptly named Migration showed a departure for The Amboy Dukes from their master copy fashion too band line-up, amongst Rusty Day replacing John Drake on vocals. Opening amongst the instrumental rail “Migration”, which showcases Nugent’s guitar talents at the forefront, this 11-track album too features Ted’s personal all-time favorite vocal “Good Natured Emma”. Despite its unloosen date, this album has aged good too is guaranteed to demonstrate Nugent’s raw too unbridled energy.
