Aerosmith - Tough Love: The Best of the BalladsSteven Tyler initially caused a rift with his bandmates when he became an American Idol judge. But money heals all wounds: the group has seen sales of its recordings soar thanks to the “Dude Looks Like a Lady” singer’s Idol exposure. More sales bumps are in store with Tyler’s forthcoming solo album and this Aerosmith collection. Featuring bluesy power ballads like “Crazy” and the socially conscious “Janie’s Got a Gun,” it includes the classic “Dream On,” which Tyler wailed away on during his Idol season finale.
