Song Background

The song's main riff was written by Joe Perry on a Fender Bass VI, which gives the song its distinctive "growl". The Fender Bass VI, originally known as the Fender VI, is a six-string electric bass by Fender. Brad Whitford plays the lead guitar part. Brad Whitford (born Bradley Ernest Whitford 23 February 1952, in Winchester Massachusetts, is the rhythm and lead Guitarist for "Back in the Saddle" also features one of the heaviest and noticeable bass lines by Tom Hamilton. Thomas William Hamilton (born December 31, 1951, in Colorado Springs, Colorado) is an American musician best known as the The song is also notable for the slow buildup of the drum beat and guitar riff in the beginning of the song, as well as the sound effects of a galloping horse and whips, and screams and yodeling by Steven Tyler at the end of the song. A real bullwhip was intended to be used for the whip effects and hours were spent trying to get it to crack. The band members ended up cut up and hurt without making any progress. Eventually, the band decided the whip effects would be created by whirling a 30-foot cord from the studio, then by firing a cap gun to create the crack of the whip. When the song is performed in concert, Steven Tyler often makes more noticeable lyrical and visible references to sex. Although the lyrics, by Steven Tyler, were written with the simple idea of cowboys and sex, this song took on new meaning after Aerosmith reunited in 1984 and embarked on their Back in the Saddle tour.

Today, the song remains a staple on rock radio and in concert. It is arguably one of the heaviest songs of Aerosmith's Top 40 singles, and is cited by rock musicians Slash and James Hetfield as among their favorite rock songs. The Top Forty or Top 40 is a music industry shorthand for the currently most-popular songs in a particular genre.
