1982’s Rock In A Hard Place is the only album in Aerosmith history to not include contributions from guitarist Joe Perry who quit the band halfway through the recording of previous release Night in the Ruts. With Perry’s guitar mate Brad Whitford also only appearing briefly, Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay pick up the slack here, helping the group lay down some world-class rock ‘n’ roll regardless as evidenced in the title track as well as “Prelude to Joanie,” “Lightning Strikes,” “Jailbait,” “Bitch’s Brew” and “Bolivian Ragamuffin.”
