Honkin' on Bobo is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band Aerosmith, released on March 30, 2004, by Columbia Records.
The album pays tribute to Aerosmith's earliest influences and showcases a rawer sound when compared to their more recent commercial efforts.
'… We did such incredible research for this album, too… We also thought about our roots, about paying homage to the stuff we loved: early Yardbirds and all.
"[4] Honkin' on Bobo was recorded in Joe Perry's ranch near Boston, with the band committing to playing only when they were in a good mood.
[8] Provisional artwork featured the cover's harmonica stuffed into a model's denim cutoffs.
"[9] "Stop Messin' Around" – a Fleetwood Mac cover, sung by Perry – had never before appeared on an Aerosmith album, despite being a staple of the band's concerts for more than ten years.
