Album Notes This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Aerosmith: Steven Tyler (vocals, harmonica); Joe Perry, Brad Whitford (guitar); Tom Hamilton (bass); Joey Kramer (drums). Additional personnel: Tracy Bonham (vocals); Johnnie Johnson (piano). Producers: Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Jack Douglas, Marti Frederiksen. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. With HONKIN' ON BOBO, Aerosmith takes a break from radio-ready fare to record an album that pays tribute to the blues influences that have always been close at hand for the group. Further enhancing the sound of this project is the presence of storied pianist Johnnie Johnson (on two tracks) and Jack Douglas, the producer for many of Aerosmith's classic 1970s albums. The result is the typical 'Smith sass and shimmy, with a contemporary sensibility applied to nuggets plucked from the songbooks of Willie Dixon (the sleazy strut "I'm Ready"), Sonny Boy Williamson (a rollicking "Eyesight to the Blind"), and Little Walter (the Howlin' Wolf-flavored "Temperature"). Throughout the record, Joe Perry and fellow fret-bender Brad Whitford play with a dirty, fuzz-guitar tone, perfectly complemented by Steven Tyler's equally rough-and-rowdy forays on the harmonica. As a result, these Boston natives do a stellar job with fiery renditions of Big Joe Williams's "Baby, Please Don't Go" and Mississippi Fred McDowell's "You Gotta Move," proving that they can still rock hard while playing the blues.

Reviews  Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!Review created: 06/15/07 by:  I am not a Aerosmith fan. This is fantastic though. Shows what good musicians they really are. Its blues and got soul. No collection should be without it. Review ID: 10000000003817656 Was this review helpful?

Report this review   Aerosmith's Honkin' On Bobo: Back In The Saddle Part IIReview created: 04/08/04 by: Tigerlily137 -- a member of Epinions Pros: It's Aerosmith Old School style. Cons: It'll never live up to the classic albums. Well, here we are. The long awaited album by the Toxic Twins and fellow legendary bandmates has finally arrived. Honkin On Bobo is the name, and the question that s on everyone s minds is Does this album live up to the bluesy expectations of the Aerosmith I know and love? Well, my answer is yes and no. I m going to try something a little different by listing the tracks from this album, and the previous albums from Aerosmith that these songs could belong on, if any. The general idea is to give the average Aerosmith fan a heads up if they like a particular prior album, then my guess is they ll.. Review ID: 10000000000643250  Louder Than Bobos by The AerosmithsReview created: 04/14/04 by: Stairway2Drew-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Music Pros: instrumental prowess and beefy midsection Cons: flirts with the mediocre and nondescript; only ONE original? Soon after Aerosmith dropped 2001's Just Push Play into America's lap-- after the ensuing debacle and the onslaught of deprecating reviews-- the promises, again, began to pour in. "Our next album will be a blues album." "It'll be for the fans." "It's a return to form." Right. Now, i like to think of myself as a fairly open-minded music listener: that is, I don't think a "return to form" is necessary for a veteran band's artistic success. That said, anybody actually holding their breath for a "return to form" should have realized that this is what Aerosmith promised back in 2001, and that what. Review ID: 10000000000643251 Three ways of reviewing Aerosmith's 14th studio albumReview created: 04/13/04 by: foxy_shy -- a member of Epinions Pros: Rocks Cons: It isn't a masterpiece They rock. They re sleazy. They re one of America s favorite bands. They re back... ...and they gonna show you how to play the blues. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome: AEROSMITH. Honkin on Bobo . April 2004. Recommended: yes There s another way of reviewing this Pros (min. 15 words): You must have heard about Aerosmith. They rocked in the 70s, almost died from drugs in the 80s, returned with two of the decade s best rock records ( Permanent Vacation , Pump ), decided to stick with the formula for the third time in a row and failed miserably ( Get a Grip 1993), returned with one of the 90s. Review ID: 10000000000643252 What's better than a rose on your piano? Yep, tulips on your organ!!!!!!!Review created: 04/17/04 by: criteeker -- a member of Epinions Pros: Aerosmith...with the guts and power that I've missed since the 1980s Cons: Abso-freakin'-NOTHING! Well, the last song is a bit much to take. The cover, albeit simple, is very powerful. It's a somewhat phallic Hohner harmonica (a.k.a. "mouth organ") with a woman's red lipstick mark on it. If that doesn't drip with sexual innuendo, you need to get out more. I wonder, is "Bobo" the name of Steven's harmonica or...? Hey, if B.B. King can name his guitar Lucille, Steven can name his harmonica, Bobo. We're guys, we feel the need to name things, like cars, boats, instruments and appendages. In a brilliant packaging design decision, they've included a tiny key chain version of a Hohner mouth organ with the Aerosmith logo on it. When I... Review ID: 10000000000643259 I Guess That's Why They Call It The BluesReview created: 04/14/04 by: ninelives353 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Joe Perry emerges from cryogenic freeze, catchy songs, great arrangements and energy Cons: Few duff tunes that upset the flow and a lack of original material Being an Aerosmith fan is difficult. Ok it's not difficult in the sense of feeding a family of four on the breadline, or negotiating peace in the Middle East. But it's hard mentally. Because you love them. You love the way Steven screeches and oozes charisma. You love silent and violent axeman Joe Perry, defining Mr Cool with his open-shirt and curly Italian barnet. You love Tom for 'Sweet Emotion' and his cracking sense of humour, and the way Brad and Joey hold the whole thing together in the shadows. And you love the way these five people have created some stonkin music spanning four... Review ID: 10000000000643258 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
