From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rock in a Hard Place is the seventh studio album by American hard rock band Aerosmith and was released in 1982 (see 1982 in music). This is the only Aerosmith album to not feature Joe Perry. Perry had left in 1979 while Whitford left in 1981, during the recording of this album. However, he's billed as an "additional musician" as he can be heard playing rhythm guitar on "Lightning Strikes." This was also Aerosmith's last studio album released on Columbia Records until 1997.
