(с 1971 года Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes) — американская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в 1965 году в Детройте, штат Мичиган. Группа, в составе которой играл ставший известным впоследствии гитарист Тед Ньюджент, стала известной благодаря синглу 1968 года «Journey to the Centre of the Mind», поднявшемуся до #16 в списках Billboard Hot 100 и признанному впоследствии классикой эйсид-рока.
The Amboy Jukes в своём наиболее известном составе — Ньюджент (гитара), Джон Дрейк (вокал), Стив Фармер (ритм-гитара, бывший участник The Lourds), Дэйв Палмер (ударные), Грэг Арама (бас) и Энди Соломон (клавишные) — приобрели первую известность со вторым альбомом Journey To The Centre Of The Mind. После неудачи третьего альбома Migration, записанного с новым вокалистом Расти Дэем, гитарист некоторое время записывался и выступал с новым составом как Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes, после чего распустил группу и начал успешную сольную карьеру, завоевав репутацию одного из ведущих рок-гитаристов 1970-х годов..
Long before Ted Nugent made his name as a mighty crossbow hunter, there was this heavy Detroit band in which he was content to play lead guitar, something he does very well and with much less threat to the Midwest's deer population. The Nuge shouldn't try to take all the credit for this band, because the other members such as vocalist John Drake and rhythm guitarist Steve Farmer contributed with great aplomb, the latter writing much of the material on the second side's ambitious suite as well as co-writing the title hit with Nugent. This is some hard-hitting, well-done psychedelic music, recorded with taste by a producer known much more for his work with mainstream jazz artists, Bob Shad. One thing that made the Amboy Dukes special was the amount of power and drive in their playing, something lacking in other psychedelic outfits that take a more airy-fairy approach. The Nuge's guitar sound is recorded as if this was a mainstream jazz album by Harold Land, and it helps.
