A ton of guitar Sep 11, 2007 I'm trying to figure out how anyone is giving this cd less than 4 stars. Maybe it's Joe's voice - not the strongest in the world. But the songs are all catchy and 'The Crystal Ship' works perfectly with his voice. Incredible version of that particular song.
If you are a fan of Perry's earlier solo work you'll like this too.

Meat and Potatoes Rock 'N Roll! Jul 18, 2006 I bought this the day it came out and I found I listened to it alot during the summer of 2005. Its great for anytime of day, and Joe's sincerity really comes through in his music and the great DVD side which is a 45 minute tour of Joe and his studio, guitars and travels.

Just The Best! May 22, 2006 No one rocks the guitar like Joe Perry but you can hear all that on Aerosmith CDs. What's great about this solo effort is hearing how sexy his voice is. Joe's cover of "Crystal Ship" is way more seductive than Jim Morrison's.
The whole CD sounds like a love song to his wife Billie but it's not made up of wimpy ballads. It's hard and fast and lots of fun. I'd love to hear him solo live.

Over-rated Mar 14, 2006 Joe Perry is the most over-rated guitar player in rock music. I highly suggest that if you want to listen to some better guitar work then check out Joe Satrini, Wayne Krantiz, Jimi Hendrix, or Stevie Ray Vaughn as they are much better then Mr. Perry. There are some cool blusey tunes on this album, but most of it is just filler material and cheezy guitar hot licking that is way over-rated!

Joe Perry Rocks! Dec 31, 2005 I have played this CD over and over again, always pleasantly pleased with the anticipated harmonies and major guitar movements. The varied beats, speeds, and flavors keep the songs fresh and easily distinguishable as unique compositions; great performances from Joe's heart.
As an avid Aerosmith fan, I have always been intrigued by Joe's strong guitar contributions on their albums. He does NOT fail to deliver on this CD.
Some have stated he is no Steven Tyler. To that comment, one should think: Great! Both performers are terrific for what they do best. If I want the Steven Tyler sound, I have a library full of Aerosmith CDs to satisfy that want. If I want to listen to wall-shaking guitar flavored with gentle vocals, I now have a CD that satifies that want as well.
You can expect wonderfully mastered chords that are not overshadowed by Joe's voice, but rather accompanied by it in memorable choruses and main lyrical exposition.
The best way to listen to this CD is in a quiet room with nothing else on your mind. Only then can your imagination take you to the place that Joe wants you to go.
