Ted Nugent's third and best-selling album for Epic cemented his position as a hard-rock icon. With this 1977 album the Motor City Madman loudly proclaimed that he would leave his loin-clothed, alpha-male stamp on the mangy hide of rock music. Songs such as the anthemic title track and "Sweet Sally" brought a melodic sensibility to hard rock that would later inform the music of Cheap Trick. The instrumental "Home Bound" expands on the soaring guitar line of Steve Miller's "Swingtown," and "Workin' Hard, Playin' Hard" stands as a testament to the rock & roll lifestyle rivaled only by Kiss's "Rock and Roll All Nite." This remastered reissue includes bonus live versions of "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" that testify to the sexually charged excitement of Nugent's fierce live show. --Michael Wells

Terrible Ted's Best.............2007-07-31

Cat scratch fever....the 3rd solo album from Ted Nugent. By far the most intense and offending(to some people).With titles like the title track and wang dang sweet poon tang....you know some people will roll their eyes at such songs...BUT...it was the late 70's where there were still freedoms and the PC brigade was not yet alive
I was 16 when this album came out and knew that older adults might dislike this album but to us teenagers...this album tapped in to the times...
I have to chuckle at the few reviews that slam Ted for being a conservative....Boo Hoo and cry me a river about his political beliefs...I liked this album for non political reasons
"Death my misadventure" and "Live it up" are by far the best...tighest tracks on this album and the band is playing well all throughout...
A must have for any music collector....

GO TED!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-10

The music is good, the vocals are strong, and the fact that he drives liberals nuts is "priceless".

Nut Case.......2007-02-21

Nugent is a gun-toating member of the Deliverance Wing of the Republican party.

cat scratch remastered.......2007-01-11

Very refreshing to hear a more full and heavy sounding version of these classic rock tracks.GET IT!!!

WHAT A WINNER,HE SHOULD LIVE ON FOREVER.......2006-07-28

I LOVE TED NUGENT WHO IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST FROM DETROIT. HE IS ONE OF THE FINEST GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME WHO PRODUCED SEVERAL EXCELLENT ALBUMS LIKE THIS ONE WHICH CONTAINED THE HIT CAT SCRATCH FEVER.ONLY LOSERS LIKE THE PREVIOUS REVIEWER WOULD AVOID THIS MASTERPIECE.FIVE STARS.
BY THE WAY BEYONCE SUCKS.

Back into the world of the Nuge!!.......2002-12-28

I was a Junior in high school when Ted released this album and being into "hard rock" at the time, you know, Aerosmith and groups of their ilk ;-) I had to pick it up. I had of course already heard "Cat Scratch" on the radio and loved it but had no idea how blown away I was going to be by the rest of the album (I keep wanting to say CD). At 17 years old, of course I was tickled by the sexuality of "Cat Scratch" and "Wang Dang". The next 2 tracks were pretty typical Ted with a hint of the Amboy Dukes but "Home Bound" really struck me with the hard driving rhythm and the great riffs. The BEST song Ted has ever recorded (in my opinion) is track 6, "Workin' Hard, Playin' Hard". I can still remember when that fast, cascading rhythm guitar intro hit, I broke into goosebumps. I had never heard anything like that in my life! Then the lead kicks in and doesn't dissapoint. The vocals kick in and you realize this song has substance, a workin' man's song (I lived on a farm, so I knew what work was at 17). The hooks and key changes in the chorus just top the song off and make it the most well crafted Nugent song of all time. It's a shame this song never charted but I think most hard core Nugent fans will smile when you mention this song to them. As for the rest of the record, it's great...but he could have played Beethoven's 5th after track 6 and I would have still rated this one as the best of all time! I saw Ted live 3 times in the next year or so and those shows still rate up there among the best performances I've ever witnessed. Now at 42, I'm stocking my CD collection with a lot of the older stuff I liked as a kid. When this showed up, I immediately skipped to track 6 and re-lived that exhilerating experience all over again, cruising down the Interstate at about 90! It was awesome!!

This is a great album,not the CD, the album!.......1999-03-02

This is the best solo artist of our time.Forget the man,listen to the music!

An interesting and precognitive dip into the Nugent oeuvre.......1998-05-14

It's interesting to view (or "listen to", if you will) this CD in the light of how it has in fact impacted (or, in fact, inaugurated) a turning-point phase in Mr. Nugent's fractous and enigmatic musical career. Long recognized as a hard-driving yet somewhat marginal rocker, here Mr. Nugent lays down a disc riddled with melodic and memorable songs which so captured the imagination of the "heavy music" public that it catapaulted his name up among the Jaggers, the Dios, and the "Little Red Rockers" who shared the charts at the time. Here we see the ominous predictions lashed with dire warning in "Cat Scratch Fever;" the passionate and pleading ode to sensual togetherness in "Wang Dang Sweet P******G;" the world-weary knowledge acquired when man looks into the depth of his human soul laid bare on "Fist-Fighting Son of A Gun;" and of course, the joyous expression of vibrant life achieved when one knows the balance of "Workin' Hard, Playin' Hard." Truly, although Mr. Nugent was in the middle of a rioutous career; as a man expressing his nature and selfhood through the oeuvre of "rock," he had only just begun. Highly recommended.
