 (12 Customer Reviews)
By the time Aerosmith released GET YOUR WINGS they were gaining serious momentum as edgy, sassy hard rock contenders. The band's sophomore effort, WINGS was the first time the five-piece band hooked up with eventual long-time producer Jack Douglas, and the result was an eight-song juggernaut of slashing guitars, pounding rhythms, and in-your-face attitude. The band's trademark dual-guitar raunch and vocalist Steven Tyler's vowel-chewing yelp can be heard loud and clear on slinky rockers like "Same Old Song and Dance" and "Pandora's Box."
The band turns in a scathing cover of Tiny Bradshaw's "Train Kept a Rollin'" (originally done by Aerosmith's heroes, the Yardbirds), a track that became a fixture in the band's live set. There are also songs about the prostitutes strolling outside the band's New York City recording studio ("Lord of the Thighs") and the edgy inevitabilities of living on the wrong side of the tracks ("S.O.S. [Too Bad]"). A too-often overlooked song on this record is "Seasons of Wither," a melancholy epic penned by Steven Tyler during a windy winter day in New Hampshire. GET YOUR WINGS defined the muscular, sexy sound that would make Aerosmith one of the best rock acts of the '70s, and is the band's first bona fide classic.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  A Now Horrible Band at It's Peak
Yep, too bad Aerosmith got "Clean". So far it has lead to having ghost-writers doing most of their new stuff, and man it shows, IT STINKS!!! Back in the good ol' days when the "toxic twins" were doing everything but the kitchen sink, they were also on the cutting else of 70's metal. Lord Of The Thighs may be one of the sexiest and most anal of all Aerosmith tunage. A great album with the always "leave my mark" production of Jack Douglas. They will follow with one more great LP before rehab and co-writers.

 Get it!
This is a nice album to listen. It has great blues riffs here and there. My favorite songs are "Train Kept a Rollin'" and "Lord of Thighs" along with some others. You definitely need to check out this album.

JAN WHEATON BIONOVEMBER, 2005Jan Wheaton, one of Madison's longtime favorite songstresses is a transplant from Cherryvale, Kansas, where she was born. She first performed publicly at the age of eight. Jan's mother, an accomplished musician herself, gave her daughter both piano and voice lessons for about nine years. Jan also played clarinet in high school, but only because it allowed her to be in the marching band!! (That was long before the age of the portable keyboard!) After high school, it was off to the University of Kansas at Lawrence, where she received a B.A. in microbiology. Her earliest influences as a vocalist were Carmen McRae and Nancy Wilson, who later led her into a strong appreciation ...

BiographyMember of AFM 398 Local myspace /derrycklawrence4Booking: sonicbids /derrycklawrence4NATURAL SELECTION, DERRYCK LAWRENCEARE YOU READY ?Story by: Sago PauloAnyone who has seen Derryck Lawrence perform live knows at least two things about him: he is a versatile and a very talented singer, and he knows how to entertain a crowd. Saturday night ,the crowd at Jam Rock Cafe in Old Town got to experience both of these virtues, and at least one more: Derryck Lawrence's original material is every bit as good as the Neo-Soul /Jazz, Rock and Reggae covers that he has regularly entertained audiences in the Florida area for at least a year now. I predict - at least I hope - that he will continue to include at least a few songs from his latest album in his live performances from now on.Lawrence has been performing off and on in Kissimmee, Florida, Billings, Montana, Honolulu, HI and many other cities for a few decades. I first heard him with his band 'The Derryck Lawrence Project five or six months ago. That band regularly packed 'em in tight at the Jam Rock Cafe for two nights on any given weekend and the Franchise Bar and Grill every Thursday night. In between variations of his band, Lawrence has performed his Luther Vandross tribute show on cruise ships, during the Indiana Black Expo, The Chicago Jazz Fest, Las Vegas and now in the state of Florida. With his ability to be versatile, whether his crowd demands Rock to Reggae and everything in between, 'Sir D' will always proved his audience with masterful lyrics of sensual romance that has become his signature. Former Backing Vocalist for Pebbles, Sir D has also toured as an opening act for Will Downing, Maxi Priest, Match Box 20 20, Maroon 5, Lady Shaw and Third World. Working with some of the chart topping producers in the Reggae, Hip Hop and Jazz field, drawing 500-800 people per-night depending on the venue, its no surprise that Sir D, 'Derryck Lawrence' is becoming 'The Talk Of The Town. 'Suffice it to say that after nearly one decades of remarkable performances and almost hits, Jazz Tree Records Inc. Neo-Soul/Jazz recording artists Derryck Lawrence -WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM PRODUCERS: Jason (Point Blank)Morgon, TONY GONZALS: Producer/Song Writer for top male vocalist such as:Freddy Jackson,Keith Washington and Will Downing,also producer KAYGEE (Formally of Naughty ...
