Night in the Ruts, 1979.

Okay. That first part just isn’t true. I’m sure Joe Perry’s nuts are fine. They might swing to the right a bit, but they are, just fine. What Perry really was trying to say before I typed those words in his mouth was that he’s getting behind an effort to play Aerosmith’s 1979 record, Night in the Ruts, all the way through. Live.

If you’re into the band, then you already know that Aerosmith plans to play their 1975 record, Toys in the Attic, in it’s entirety during their summer tour this year.

You know, I always take so much flack for loving Night in the Ruts. Not that I needed Joe Perry’s opinion to achieve vindication on that fact. I mean, with lyrics like these from the track Cheesecake , what’s not to love?:

Cheesecake, looser than her sister. Cheesecake, her sugar get me high. She knows I can’t resist her. Cheesecake. Got my fingers in her pie.

Anyway, Perry might have something here because there really aren’t a lot of lyrics to remember from this record. And he gets to erase any trace of guitarist Jimmy Crespo (currently a Vegas fixture) who replaced him part of the way through the recording of Nuts Ruts.
