TED NUGENT - GREAT GONZOS! CD 81
A good intro CD by him to find at Goodwill as it has all the hit songs including 'Wango Tango' a song my older sister would play at me many times in her room as we hung out and played with toys, etc--she in junior high, me in grade school and the song was a big hit we laughed at but got me in that early punk mode before abandoning hit radio so giving the redneck his due. https://gofile.io/d/xtoG1Q

The Nuge's loudmouth persona, love of bloodsports & extreme right wing views have utterly tarnished his musical legacy at this point, but back in the day he made some seriously kick-ass music & could make that Gibson Byrdland wail like no-one else. Funny you mentioned the 'punk' vibe of Wango Tango, as Nugent's no-drinking no-drugging stance was very influential on that scene via two huge Nugent fans called Henry Rollins & Ian MacKaye who adopted that lifestyle themselves & credit Nugent as the initial inspiration for what later became 'Straight Edge'.
