JOHNNY B'S 25 FAVORITE ALBUM COVERS!

AEROSMITH-DRAW THE LINE (1977)


As I'm sure you all know by now, I'm a huge fan of the Line King, the late great Al Hirschfeld...and so it's a no-brainer that I love this wonderful cover from Tyler, Perry and company. The album itself is pretty darn good, too- not as strong as Get Your Wings or Rocks, but it still features several sloppy, gnarly rockers and quite possibly Joe Perry's finest moment, the Ramones-ish 2-minute workout "Bright Light Fright". Of course, it also features the alarmingly bad Styx-like "Kings and Queens", but it was the drugs to blame. Yeah, that's right, the drugs.
