Cover:
7 Charlie Pattons out of 10.
Pretty classic and simple. A harmonica with lipstick
on it on a red velvet. It lets you know that it's going to be a blues
influenced CD and it works.
Booklet: 10
Muddy Waters out of 10.
Anything that comes with free shit is
cool, especially when it's a free harmonica keychain! And it actually
works. It's a little ass Hohner harmonica and it works really well,
so just for that alone I think this was worth buying. Now I can walk
around the mall and annoy people by trying to play this thing. It's
great!
As for the booklet, each members get their own page along with thanks,
credits, and all that crap. It's Aerosmith, so you know they have the
money to make shit look cool.
Songs:
8 Bukka Whites out of 10.
This reminds of early Aerosmith! This is a lot more rocking than you
might think. It's not a boring blues record. Aerosmith takes a bunch
of classic blues songs and covers them in their own way and I like it.
It's more in tune with classic Aerosmith than some of their last few
releases, plus Jack Douglas co-produced this along with Tyler and Perry.
"Road Runner," "Baby, Please Don't Go," and "You
Gotta Move," are the best tracks in my opinion. Good driving songs.
Joe Perry sings two tracks, "Back Back Train" and "Stop
Messin' Around." The one original song, "The Grind" is
kinda generic and nothing too memorable. The last track, "Jesus
Is On The Main Line" is also a waste and throwaway track.
Comments: I liked this more than I thought
I was going to. The free keychain kicked ass too. I'm a sucker for free
shit.
