Draw the Line, Aerosmith's fifth studio album, hit the racks on Columbia on December 9, 1977, with Al Hirschfeld's caricature of the band on the cover. Jack Douglas produced, and the band cut it between June and October in an abandoned convent outside New York City, which tells you plenty about the mood: loose, woozy and sprawling, the Boston band holed up and left to its own devices.
Steven Tyler yowls and Joe Perry and Brad Whitford's guitars snarl and tangle, with Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer keeping the bottom end swinging. The title track is a rip-snorting blast of dirty blues-rock, and "Kings and Queens" goes for something grander and more ominous. It's rougher and messier than Rocks, and that's half the charm.
