Honkin' on Bobo, Aerosmith's 14th studio album, is the Boston band going back to the well: 11 borrowed blues and blues-rock numbers dating from the 1940s through the 1960s, plus one new original, "The Grind". Columbia put it out, and Jack Douglas, the man behind the boards for most of their '70s records, came back to produce alongside Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Marti Frederiksen.
It's a salute to the music that lit the fuse for them in the first place, and next to their more commercial recent records it sounds raw and rowdy: Tyler hollering, Perry and Brad Whitford trading greasy riffs, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer keeping the floor shaking. "Baby, Please Don't Go" struts like a juke-joint brawl. It sold more than 160,000 copies in its first week and hit number five on the Billboard 200.
