Break out the Boones Farm and the water beds!
Tiki T. here inviting you to step back in time to 1973.
We're steadily pulling out of Vietnam, Sanford and Son is on the tube, Bowie is causing gender confusion, Pink Floyd is blowing minds with the release of Dark Side, I can't shake this dang case of the crabs, and five sniveling punks from Boston have just released a no-frills record simply called Aerosmith.
We love this one on a hot summer night! It's full of garage-y goodness with sadly forgotten treasures all over the place. "One Way Street" is a bluesy Cajun rocker. "Movin' Out", the first song Joe Perry and Steven Tyler ever wrote together, is raw and spooky. The sound of the guitar and vocals dipping in and out a little reminds us that this is still a band steeped in low fi sincerity. After all, this is before the excessive bloat of 70s rock music kicks in and ruins everything.
And obviously you've got your classics on here that never tire. "Dream On" (though I'd be just fine to never hear it again), "Mama Kin" and the funky Rufus Thomas cover "Walkin' the Dog".
Always a party pleaser, this one is great to throw on when having friends over for late night drinks.
All and all, a definite "Must Have" on vinyl!
Rating: 4 Microphone Scarves out of a possible 5.
