Cryin' - Aerosmith

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfNmyxV2Ncw]


Steven Tyler's voice on this track is perfect. I just love the way this whole song comes together. The 12/8 time, the horns in the background, Perry's guitar riffs and solo...it all works. Aerosmith has had so many great songs over the years, but this is one of my favorites by far. Another album I recommend of theirs is "Honkin' on Bobo". It's a blues album, which from songs like this, you can tell blues heavily influences the group's music.


I had completely forgotten that Alicia Silverstone was in this video, but that's not the thing that really caught my eye. All of you LOST fans can catch a glimpse of Josh Holloway - a very young Holloway - toward the end of the video. He's the guy in the diner that takes off with Silverstone's bag. I'm still not really sure what the message is with this video, but I like it anyway.
