Aerosmith (1976) Sick as A Dog - LOST 70s GEMS

Starting with a killer phased echoplex guitar part full of ringing acoustic picking like bells before the main jam rocks up. The melody is backed by some smooth 'Pleeeeeeeaaaaase' backing vocals while the chorus refrain is nearly comical with lines like 'Sick as a Dog, Cat got your Tongue, Sick as a Dog, Cause you really ain't that young'. The rollicking bass work thrumming along with the party rock anthem vocals and general raucous rhythm creates a strong, clear rock sound I love. The quiet Hi-Hat laden bridge is monumental, the rhythm section doesn't get enough credit with the classic 50s shuffle beat heightened by the use of handclaps towards the end.
