Best remembered for their 1968 acid rock classic "Journey to the Center of the Mind," Detroit's Amboy Dukes  also introduced the world to the Motor City Madman, guitarist Ted Nugent. The group's roots date to 1965,  a period when a teenage Nugent was living in Chicago; there he formed the first incarnation of the Amboy Dukes,  borrowing the moniker from a recently disbanded Detroit band who themselves took the name  from an infamous exploitation novel of the period. When Nugent returned to Southeastern Michigan in 1967,  he assembled a new Dukes lineup including vocalist John Drake, his former bandmate in the Lourds,  as well as rhythm guitarist Steve Farmer, bassist Bill White, keyboardist Rick Lober, and drummer Dave Palmer.  Famed for its snarling closer, an incendiary cover of Them's "Baby Please Don't Go,"  the group emerged as one of the hottest attractions on the Detroit club circuit

The most prominent feature of Migration (the Amboy Dukes' third recording) 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 war that was beginning to wage  within the band, a war that would ultimately claim more than a few key lineup casualties.  No matter the reason, Migration -- with it's less opaque drug references and general grooviness --  was given a cool reception at record stores as listeners perhaps became slightly confused  about the Michigan band's intentions while pondering Nugent's relatively eclectic musical approach.  Case in point: the spot-on version of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers' "I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent."  Besides this bizarre but affective cover, other highlights include the instrumental opener  "Migration" and one of Nugent's all-time favorite songs, "Good Natured Emma."  More ambitious than the group's huge-selling effort from the year before,  "Migration" might be the better of the two discs,  if not the best of the Amboy Dukes' career...(AllMusic)
