LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MARCH 1, 2020…ON THIS DAY IN 1974, AEROSMITH RELEASED ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS. ‘GET YOUR WINGS’ IS THE BAND’S SECOND STUDIO ALBUM, AND IT’S PURE IN YOUR FACE ROCK N’ ROLL. SURPRISINGLY, THE FIRST AEROSMITH ALBUM WAS CONSIDERED A DISAPPOINTMENT BY THE RECORD COMPANY (DUE TO CRAPPY PROMOTION BY THE RECORD COMPANY) AND THE LABEL WAS CONSIDERING DROPPING THE BAND. ALONG CAME ‘GET YOUR WINGS’. THE FIRST SINGLE WAS ‘SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE.’ IT DIDN’T PLACE HIGH ON THE CHARTS, BUT IT DID STAY ON THE CHARTS FOR OVER A YEAR, AND HELPED SELL THE ALBUM. ANOTHER NOTABLE TRACK WAS ‘TRAIN KEPT A-ROLLIN’, WHICH REMAINS A STAPLE IN THE BANDS LIVE SHOW TO THIS DAY. ALL IN ALL, THIS ALBUM IS A FREAKIN’ GEM. HERE’S SOME VINTAGE AEROSMITH FROM THE TV SHOW ‘THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL’ FROM 1974.
