Artist: TED NUGENT
Album: IF YOU CAN’T LICK ‘EM... LICK ‘EM (CD)

Release date: 1988
Media type: CD

Never one to bow to trends, Detroit's Ted Nugent calmly ignored New Wave, synth-pop, and other musical developments of the '80s, and continued to record unadulterated, guitar-heavy hard rock albums throughout the decade. His 1988 release, IF YOU CAN'T LICK 'EM... LICK 'EM, is typical Nugent, complete with amped-up blues licks, hilariously dumb song titles ("The Harder They Come (The Harder I Get)"), and plenty of impressively unrestrained soloing from Nugent himself. Nugent's only concession to the times may be "That's The Story of Love," which features a guest appearance from arena rock superstars Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora.

All songs written and arranged by Ted Nugent, except "That's the Story of Love", written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Ted Nugent
