Artist: TED NUGENT
Album: WEEKEND WARRIORS REMASTERED & RELOADED (CD)

Release date: 1978/ 2006
Media type: CD

“THE ALBUM cover shot says it all; Nugent leaping over a stack of speakers brandishing a customised Gibson Byrdland guitar expertly fashioned into a double barrelled shotgun. As a statement of intent few front covers, apart from previous Nugent sleeves that is, convey the awesome shock & awe fire-power and explosive energy contained inside the packaging.

Issued in 1978, hot on the heels of the ground breaking live album ‘Double Live Gonzo!’, Nugent was out to take few prisoners but plenty of scalps. Engaging a new backing band (including second guitarist/vocalist Charlie Huhn) and writing some of his best and most electrifying songs, he crafted a hard rock masterpiece featuring such all time classics as ‘Tight Spots’, ‘Venom Soup’ and ‘Good Friends And A Bottle Of Wine’, songs that fuse muscle with (meat) hooks and guitar solos to die for.

‘Weekend Warriors’ is an album that solidified Nugent’s reputation as not only one of the world’s greatest showmen but also one of the savviest songwriters around. Truly a hard rock classic.”
