This album really is crap, but...

"I have been waiting for "Little Miss Dangerous" to hit iTunes just to download the title track. No surprise Ted has tried to hide this record's existence. It's an embarrassing compromise in his flailing attempt to stay commercially viable in a time when pretty hair bands were taking over from the old arena rockers. But the title tune was the focal song of maybe the greatest episode of "Miami Vice." This gorgeous chick was a psycho murderous hooker, and the Nooge's song was a perfect fit. It's a great listen. The rest is shameful.



If Ted hadn't gone all ego and broke up the band that recorded the "Ted Nugent" solo rebranding back in the mid-Seventies, I bet we would have gotten a lot more and more memorable music out of Nugent. No, Ted, I can't stand to listen to you sing. Derek was a better singer. Meat Loaf was a better singer. Don Van Vliet would have been a better singer.



But Ted is an extraordinarily talented guitarist. "Tooth Fang and Claw" and "Ted Nugent" were spectacular recordings that belong in your collection."
