Composition
The composition of the Call of the Wild album may have been influenced by AM and FM radio hits of the period in which the album was recorded. [1] To the listener, the album's title track, which opens the album, is "not as blistering as ["Cat Scratch Fever"], but more metallic than the psychedelia/blues of the original Amboy Dukes", calling the song "more Jeff Beck gone rock than the quasi-Ozzie persona Nugent gleefully would embrace" in his subsequent albums under his own name, comparing the composition to the music of Spirit and Jo Jo Gunne. [1] "Sweet Revenge" may have lifted its melody from the Grass Roots' song "Things I Should Have Said". [1] A website called the song "Pony Express" "a strange amalgam of '60s out-of-the-garage/heading-toward-stadiums riff rock", saying that it borrowed its melody from Deep Purple's "Highway Star", and said that "Ain't It the Truth" was a piano boogie, comparing it to "Jumpin' Jack Flash". [1] The album's second side is sequenced to sound like a single continuous jam session. [1] "Rot Gut" may sound like "Joe Perry emulating Jeff Beck". [1] "Below the Belt" contains keyboard and flute instrumentation played by Gabe Magno.
