Aerosmith's Honkin On Bobo

Inspired by early Fleetwood Mac when Peter Green played with them.... according to my local newspaper

The build-up for "Honkin' on Bobo" has been kinda misleading. It's much more a rock album than a blues album. Rather than the band playing it straight, it's Aerosmith applying its trademark sleaze to the blues. But, whatever you wanna call it, it's a great album. The band sounds more energized than they have in years. Maybe the reunion with Jack Douglas has something to do with it.

I hate to say this but Honkin' on Bobo is probably the worst album Aerosmith has done in years.They even ripped off the title it's from a Good Brothers album.
The songs themselves are hard to listen to.Find the originals. Let this pile of crap die a Quick death.
Check out Eric Clapton's Robert Johnson tribute. He "gets" it.

You may never end up really liking the album, but I found
I like it more after a few plays. AMG has given it the highest rating (4 stars) of any Aerosmith initial release since 1989's "Pump"(4.5 stars).
Clapton's "Reptile" was good in parts, but I was waiting for more input before getting his new one. This is the second recommendation I have seen for "Me and Mr. Johnson", so I'll probably pick it up.

Agree wholehartedly with Hooper - best Aerosmith in years. If you like blues and early raw/rough Aerosmith, you will like the cd. Not to say its perfect, but better than the MTV stuff. Also, recommend Clapton's "Me and Mr. Johnson" but still like the Aerosmith more.
