Aerosmith (album)

Aerosmith is the eponymous debut studio album by the American rock band Aerosmith, released in January 1973 by Columbia Records. It was primarily recorded at Intermedia Sound in Boston, Massachusetts. The album failed to chart upon its initial release, but after the band achieved mainstream success with later albums like Toys in the Attic and Rocks, Aerosmith was re-released and reached a peak of #166 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The album features several songs that would become staples of Aerosmith's early repertoire, including "Dream On," which was originally released as a single and became a minor hit, later achieving greater success after a re-release. Other notable tracks include "Mama Kin," which has been covered by several other artists, and "Walkin' the Dog." The album showcases the band's raw, blues-based rock sound, influenced by artists such as the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. The original Columbia Records catalog number for the album was KC 32006.
