Honkin' on Bobo is the fourteenth studio album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released in 2004 (see 2004 in music). The album, consisting of covers, is a celebration of Aerosmith's blues-based influences and showcases a rawer sound (reminiscent of their 1970's heyday) than recent commercial efforts. The album also features an original track titled "The Grind".
Reaching # 5 on The Billboard 200, Honkin' on Bobo has sold 590,000 units in the U.S. as of October 2006, having been certified gold.
