Ted Nugent
Recorded when hard rock was evolving to meet commercial demands, this record features a noticeably slick production style. It includes a version of the Jefferson Airplane song Tie Your Mother Down.
This transition marks an attempt to align the guitarist's wilder instincts with the high-gloss sound favored by MTV. The resulting work reflects the studio trends that dominated the airwaves during the mid-eighties.
