Ted Nugent wrote "Just What the Doctor Ordered" on his own, and it landed on his self-titled 1975 solo debut on Epic, his first release since the Amboy Dukes fell apart. The album came out of a clean break: sick of how little work and discipline the Dukes were putting in, Nugent walked, then cleared his head with three months of deer hunting in the Colorado wilderness before coming back looking for a new band.
He found one in former Duke Rob Grange on bass, Cliff Davies, late of If, on drums, and Derek St. Holmes, a singer and guitarist from the Michigan band Scott, which had opened shows for the Dukes. They took the songs on the road first and into the studio second, and the record crackles with that road-hardened, hunting-season hunger.
