Aerosmith's Comeback Path To Rock Dominance!
What is the story behind Pump by Aerosmith? In this episode of Album Archives, we revisit the peak of Aerosmith’s comeback era and the album that balanced slick production with hard-earned swagger. After years of turmoil and reinvention, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry reemerged with an album packed full of swagger, hooks, and attitude. Featuring chart-topping hits like “Love in an Elevator,” “Janie’s Got a Gun,” and “What It Takes,” Pump captured the band at their creative peak — balancing sharp songwriting with raw, unfiltered energy. Join host Steve Epley as we dive into the stories behind the music, the band’s revival, and how Pump became one of the defining rock albums of the late ‘80s.
