The Amboy Dukes - Journey To The Center Of The Mind (1968)

The Amboy Dukes - Journey To The Center Of The Mind (1968)
  
    In 1968 something changed.......we started to ask the right questions....like "why is a carrot more orange than an orange".   Yeah I know you just said "what?"  Well this is one of the tunes off this magnum -opus of psychedelic rock that you have to hear before you die !    To fans of the Psych genre the simple mention of "Amboy Dukes" and they will immediately bark out "Ted Nugent".   Yes this was the first well known band that gun-lover Nugent played in.   Journey is a pure classic album that while carries a garage-psych flare also offers a 60's rock vibe too !  Musically this album is stunning with great song writing and a superb performance.  The recording is also quite good sonically with some nice stereo panning and clear speaker seperation.    A classic album that you need to hear kids !
