Critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Ted Nugent rose to prominence in the ‘60s. He joined the psychedelic band Amboy Dukes and released the hit single “Journey to the Center of the Mind” in 1968. In 1975, Nugent pursued his solo career and released his self-titled debut album. The album immediately broke into the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number 28. Meanwhile, the highly-acclaimed record also charted in the U.K. and Australia. The debut album spawned one of Nugent’s most popular singles, “Stranglehold,” demonstrating his bluesy guitar riffing and wild guitar duets. The eight-minute-long track became the official entrance theme of the Chicago Blackhawks. Although the single didn’t enter the charts upon its release, it remains Nugent’s most streamed song, clocking in at almost two hundred million listens.
In 1977, Nugent released his third and most well-received album, Cat Scratch Fever. The album spawned the massive title track, “Cat Scratch Fever, which peaked at number. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Thanks to the title track’s success, the album sold over three million copies in the U.S. and was certified triple platinum in 2001.
Nugent welcomed the next decade with a bang. His 1980 album, Scream Dream, became the highest-charting effort of his career. The album peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200 and spawned several incredible tracks, including “Scream Dream” and “Wang Tango.” The critically-acclaimed album was the last effort Nugent released with his longtime drummer and co-producer Cliff Davies. Music reviewers called the album an incredible “aural mayhem” only Nugent can create. The album later sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S., earning Nugent another gold certification.
Last year, Nugent released his 16th and latest album, Detroit Muscle. Fans can look forward to Nugent’s new music from the recently released work and his massive hits from earlier efforts.
