Product Description

Aerosmith are one of the few arena-sized bands still capable of playing it down-to-earth when the occasion calls. For Honkin' on Bobo, the boys return to their bar band roots (and fire a warning shot at Jack White) with this set of classic blues and soul covers generously peppered with harmonica, horns, and boogie-woogie piano. For years, Aerosmith sprinkled similar ditties on their LPs, but devoting a whole disc to material associated with John Lee Hooker, Mississippi Fred McDowell, et al? That takes chutzpah--and they've got it to spare here. "Shame, Shame, Shame" is a finger-waggin', hip-shakin' romp, while "Baby, Please Don't Go" starts out spooky, then escalates as Steven Tyler builds to a full-throttle holler with Joe Perry's guitar blazing his backside all the way. Tyler even snatches one signature song ("Never Loved A Girl") away from the Queen of Soul...at least for a few minutes. --Kurt B. Reighley

Format:Audio CD
This is probably my favorite album since Pump, slightly edging 1993's "Get a Grip." The songs are all blues covers, and the sounds is crisp and crunchy. It sounds like what it is, new equipment playing old tunes. It's very sleasey but feels kind of polished, as if Aerosmith was in some way holding back. But what it does produce in the end is a fresh grooving sound familiar to any Aerosmith fan. It's worth buying and continues to prove that these guys still have what it takes to rock!

Honkin on Bobo is a good, rockin' record. It is full of cover songs. It seems like Aerosmith is having fun again with music. "Just Push Play" was about as fun and entertaining as a trip to the dentist. I like the direction Aerosmith is going. Tehy shouldn't need to worry about selling albums, because they could tour forever on the back of songs from "Bobo"

Another great band bites it...
What a lazy, half-hearted, boredom-driven, self-serving pile of aerocrap. I LOVE Aerosmith and have seen them in concert no less than 9 times in different cities. Read more

Don't call it blues....
You would have to be a die hard fan to appreciate the monotone screaming to appreciate this album. Billed as a blues album, but sounds more like Yoko Ono on helium.

Less than 1 star- perhaps a quasar

This should have been Just Push Play
I usually don't get CD's. And when I do get CD's, I usually wait until three or four hits come off of it. However, I am a huge Aerosmith fan. Read more
