Aerosmith Dusts Off Toys In The Attic For 40th Anniversary
May 19, 2015
Dallas, TX - May 19, 2015.
North American syndicated Rock radio show and website InTheStudio: The Stories Behind History’s Greatest Rock Bands dusts off Toys in the Attic, the breakthrough third album from Aerosmith on its fortieth anniversary.
The perception that Aerosmith had broke with “Dream On” off their debut album is not entirely accurate. As drummer Joey Kramer recalls to InTheStudio host Redbeard, “The first album really didn’t go anywhere until “Dream On” was released (as a single) three or four times. “Dream On” was a single when this record (Toys InThe Attic) hit.” It was the third release of “Dream On” as a single, after the release of their second album Get Your Wings, that lit the fuse for Aerosmith’s breakout album Toys In The Attic. What followed was an monster album selling over 8 million copies and producing the timeless classics “Walk this Way” and “Sweet Emotion”, not to mention the first anti-child abuse song “Uncle Salty”, the circular contagion of “No More, No More”, a swingin’ cover of Bullmoose Jackson’s bawdy, “Big Ten Inch” and the riff rock title track “Toys in the Attic”.
