CD Review: "Joe Perry"
Blogcritics.org
May 27, 2005
"...In the middle of the Aerosmith 'strife years', guitarist Joe Perry formed the Joe Perry Project....Many years (and several Aerosmith lives) later, Perry comes up with a true solo record. Firmly ensconced in his home studio (the 'Boneyard'), Joe is back to making 'the big noise'.....The idea that aging rock stars should trundle off quietly into retirement is crushed to a pulp by this collection of songs. 'Shakin' My Cage' comes cranking out of the gate with a severe combination of classic rhythm mayhem, momentum-inducing slide guitar and twisty solo work. Far from being a one-dimensional 'guitar player's' record, 'Joe Perry' shows off Joe's huge guitar sonics palette: from skidding metallic solos to low-down chunky rhythm guitar to gently-strummed acoustic to chiming artificial harmonics. The songs themselves are similarly varied....what seems clear is that it's looking like Joe Perry's just getting started."
