Welcome to the new year. And my 185th Album Of The Week post. Posting anniversary albums on the first weekend of each month was a lot of fun last year, so let's do it again this year. We kick off with the sophomore album from a band that's been going at it in some form or fashion for over forty years now. It's Get Your Wings by Aerosmith. For many years I was not a particular fan of Aerosmith other than the big hits Dream On and Walk This Way. Then they released Pump in the late 80's and I loved that album. I have since gone back and picked up most of their early catalog, including this little gem. It's a really good album. Nice guitar playing and a very strong rhythm section. I also hear a lot of maturity in Steven Tyler's voice on this album as compared to the debut.
The album is still in print and if you don't have it, you can pick up a new, remastered copy for 9 bucks on Amazon. It's definitely worthy of your Classic Rock collection. I purchased it on November 30, 2009 (thanks Amazon). So do you own it? What do you think of it? What are your favorite songs? Where does it rank in you Aerosmith collection (probably second for me, behind Pump).
Side One:
1. Same Old Song And Dance
2. Lord Of The Thighs
3. Spaced
4. Woman Of The World
Side Two:
5. S.O.S. (Too Bad)
6. Train Kept A-Rollin'
7. Seasons Of Wither
8. Pandora's Box

Well, I'm definitely getting old. It seems as though I've once again posted an album that was previously posted. Not a good start for 2014. Oh well.
There are no birthdays today
