Aerosmith 于1973年推出首张同名专辑,当时 Steven Tyler(Vocals)的演唱还未建立起自己的风格,而乐队表现的就像技术上更好的 New York Dolls 和音乐上更重的 Rolling Stone 一样,不过 Aerosmith 所特有的将 Blues 即兴弹奏与 Hard Rock 的强悍相互结合风格的确是他们以后成功的法宝。1976年,专辑《Aerosmith》重新进入美国流行排行榜,达到21名,重新发行的单曲 “Dream On” 名列第六,这首歌曲日后也成为乐队的经典。不过,总体来说,《Aerosmith》是一张被忽视的专辑。
Aerosmith is the eponymous debut album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released in January 1973 by Columbia Records. The song "Walkin' the Dog" is a cover song originally performed by Rufus Thomas. Also the album "Dream On" became an American top ten single when re-released in 1976. "Dream On" was first released as a single in 1973. The album peaked at #21 on the Billboard 200 in 1976.
The photo at right is the original cover, which misprinted the song "Walkin' The Dog" as "Walkin' The Dig". When a second pressing of the album was released in 1976, this error was corrected, and the cover replaced with a modified one made up entirely of the photo of the band members. This second pressing is the more commonly available version of the LP. When reissued on CD in 1993 as a remastered version, the original first pressing artwork was used.
