Ted Nugent To Release New Studio
Album In September
(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 Marco 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. He'll
be doing some book signings while on tour, which wraps up August 31 in
Las Vegas.
