Aerosmith's Honkin On Bobo


As it says on the cover, "Blues done Aerosmith style!"
A welcome addition to my collection.

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.
