By the Numbers
Get Your Wings marks the start of the Tyler/Perry songwriting partnership as Aerosmith's engine, with the pair sharing credits on the opener 'Same Old Song and Dance' and 'Spaced.' Steven Tyler wrote several tracks alone, including 'Lord of the Thighs' and 'Seasons of Wither,' while drummer Joey Kramer co-wrote 'Pandora's Box' and Don Solomon co-wrote 'Woman of the World.' The band's reworking of 'Train Kept A-Rollin'' is a cover credited to Tiny Bradshaw, Howard Kay, and Lois Mann, not an original. The album was the first Aerosmith record produced by Jack Douglas, with Ray Colcord co-producing and Jay Messina engineering.
Aerosmith's second studio album, released March 5, 1974. The album marks the beginning of Aerosmith's long association with producer Jack Douglas, who shaped the band's sound throughout the 1970s. Tyler-Perry co-writes dominate, but Joey Kramer receives a writing credit on 'Pandora's Box', one of his only album-era credits. Two covers appear: 'Train Kept A-Rollin'' (originally by Tiny Bradshaw, made famous by the Yardbirds) became an Aerosmith live staple, and 'Woman of the World' is co-credited to Don Solomon. The album reached number 74 on the Billboard 200.
