GET YOUR WINGS
Get Your Wings is the second studio album by American rock band Aerosmith, released March 1, 1974. The album is the first to feature production from Jack Douglas, who produced the band’s next four albums. Three singles were released from the album, but none of them made the pop charts. The album has been released in stereo and quadraphonic, and certified triple platinum by the RIAA. (More from Wikipedia)
Probably the best known version of the song is by Aerosmith; “Train Kept A-Rollin’” is included on their second album, Get Your Wings (1974), but the band’s connection with the song dates back much further than that. As quoted in Wikipedia, Joe Perry recalls of this song: “‘Train Kept A-Rollin’’ was the only song we had in common when we first got together. Steven [Tyler]’s band had played ‘Train’, and Tom [Hamilton] and I played it in our band. . . . It’s a blues song, if you follow its roots all the way back. . . . I always thought if I could just play one song, it would be that one because of what it does to me.”
