Ted Nugent To Release New Studio Album In September
Yahoo! Music, Jul 9, 2002 10:00 am PDT
(7/9/02, 10 a.m. ET) - Ted Nugent will release the new studio album Craveman on September 24. It's his 31st release and his first studio effort for Spitfire Records, which released last year's live album, Full Bluntal Nugity. Craveman was recorded in April at 40 Oz. Sound in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and was co-produced by Nugent and brothers Drew and Chris Peters, who led the now-defunct band Getaway Cruiser and have also worked with Nugent pal Kid Rock.
The 14-track effort was performed by "The Motor City Madman" and his touring band, bassist Mario Mendoza and drummer Tommy Clufetos. Also on hand is Clufetos's father, Tommy Sr., who plays saxophone on the track "Pussywhipped."
Although Nugent wrote or co-wrote all of the album's songs, Craveman features a number of interesting songwriting collaborations: Damn Yankees partners Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw co-wrote "Damned If Ya Do" with Nugent, while Nugent and Blades also hooked up for "Crave"; Damon Johnson of Brother Cane and Damn Yankees co-wrote "I Won't Go Away"; longtime Nugent collaborator Michael Lutz and saxophonist Alto Reed from Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band joined forces for "Comin' Down Hard," which originally appeared on the soundtrack to the Jeff Daniels movie Escanaba In Da Moonlight; and Nugent teams up with bassist Mendoza on "My Baby Likes My Butter On Her Gritz" and "Earthtones," the spacious, sweeping instrumental that closes Craveman.
Nugent, who's also promoting Kill It And Grill It, his cookbook written with wife Shemane, is currently on the road and next performs Wednesday (July 10) at the House Of Blues in Chicago. He'll be doing some book signings while on tour, which wraps up August 31 in Las Vegas.
The full Craveman tracklisting includes: "KLSTRPHNKY," "Crave," "RawDogs & WarHogs," "Damned If Ya Do," "At Home There," "Cum N Gitya Sum-O-This," "Change My Sex," "I Won't Go Away," "Pussywhipped," "Comin' Down Hard," "Wang Dang Doodle," "My Baby Likes My Butter On Her Gritz," "Sexpot," and "Earthtones."
