Aerosmith might have lost you in a sea of bad production and even worse songs during the last 25 years (though, admittedly, 1989’s Pump is a guilty pleasure), but Honkin’ On Bobo is a surprising return to form for Boston’s most infamous bar band. If you dig early Aerosmith rockers like “Mama Kin” and “Train Kept A Rollin,’” or riff-saturated masterpieces like Toys in The Attic and Rocks, you’ll love the bluesy Bobo. Filled with choice, hi-octane covers of masters like Misissippi Fred McDowell, Rev. Gary Davis and Willie Dixon, this new release from Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and company will help us all remember what made Aerosmith matter in the first place … and I don’t mean power ballads.
