Spirit of the Wild ranks as one of Ted Nugent's finest moments because it cuts away the filler and keeps the wildman's tendency for indulgence in check. This album marked the return of Nugent's original sound of hard rock instead of the pop metal style of his '80s solo work, as well as the brief return of vocalist Derek St. Holmes. "Spirit of the Wild" is the theme song for Ted Nugent's hunting TV show Spirit of the Wild. The sixth track "Fred Bear" is a tribute to the bowman Fred Bear. NEVER RELEASED ON VINYL
