Aerosmith - Get A Grip - 1993 - **

[Image: GetAGrip_Aerosmithalbum.jpg]

One of my daughters favorite bands, but I prefer their earlier stuff, probably the first 4 or 5 albums. Formed in 1970 in Boston, Ma. This is the 11th studio album, which certainly churned out the hits, 5 singles, becoming the best selling to date, debuting at #1. The album took 2 grammy's which is supposed to be the death sentence, but the band never played by the book. Even though they are remarkably similar, the power ballad material comes off best for me. Could it be Alicia? I do respect their longevity, but they should hang it up if they haven't already. Tyler's a freak!

Favorite Track - Cryin'

There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
Now listen
All I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' �cause I let you
Do what you do - down on me

Now there's not even breathin' room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same

It's down on me
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Girl I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do to me

Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
If you give your heart away

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' just to let you
Do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do down to , down to, down to, down to
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' to forget you
Your love is sweet
I was cryin' when I met you

Allman Brothers Band - A Decade Of Hits - 1991 - **

I'm not really a big fan of "southern rock", but when a band hangs around this long they have to have put out some decent stuff. And with the bluesy material they perform live, it's pretty good, They are based in Georgia but got together in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969. This compilation pretty much sums it up. It covers the period from 1969 to 1979, their first 6 albums. I'm sure there are other collections after this one, as the band is still touring, but this is their best material.

Favorite Track - Melissa

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast

Knowing many, loving none,
Bearing sorrow havin fun,
But back home hell always run
To sweet melissa... mmm...

Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
And no one knows the gypsys name

No one hears his lonely sigh,
There are no blankets where he lies.
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies
With sweet melissa... mmm...

Again the mornings come,
Again hes on the run,
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
Appearing not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.

Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
Will you hide the dead mans ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
Or will his spirit roll away?

But I know that he wont stay without melissa.

Yes I know that he wont stay without melissa.

Great song you've chosen as the stand-out, Melissa - I used to sing it with my own band all the time back in 1980/81. Even have a couple of recordings of it from those days somewhere.
Started doing One Way Out during a long-ish stint at a restaurant down in the snow country out here back in 1995 as well.
Have been doing Statesboro Blues for quite a few years and used to do Southbound in a band back in the mid-seventies.
I've always been a fan of the Allmans and of Southern Rock generally. This isn't bad for a greatest hits type set! :wink:

Quite a bit to say about this one...

This is one of those albums that I bought on the strength of one song, only to find that the rest of the album is a donkey.

Suppose there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it, it's just that it doesn't hit the spot for me. That having been said, it's frequently worthwhile re-visiting records that you haven't hit it off with before. In this case, my opinion didn't improve much:

- Musically it's sort of a funky take on the Aerosmith sound (which is bad), although the Nile Rogers production is typically polished (which is very good)

- Lyrically it's cringeworthy. Dan tells that his baby is a "Tiger in a Dress", & that he'll be "Doin' The Love Thing" with her "All Night Long"

- Rainbow Child is still a great song IMO

- Listenable, but only just

At least I didn't rip my ears off...
