Joe Perry left the band midway through the recording of it. Additionally, this album was not produced by Jack Douglas, who had produced Aerosmith's prior four albums. Instead, Columbia Records brought in Gary Lyons to produce the album. About halfway through the recording of the album, the record label and management set Aerosmith out on another tour without extra time to finish the album, which pushed the album to being released later in the year. Joe Perry left the band mid-way through the tour, after a violent feud involving the band members and their wives. Prior to his departure, Perry had completed guitar parts for "No Surprize", "Chiquita", "Cheesecake", "Bone to Bone (Coney Island Whitefish Boy)", and "Three Mile Smile". The guitar parts for the remaining songs were recorded by Brad Whitford, Richie Supa, Neil Thompson, and Jimmy Crespo (who later became Perry's official replacement from 1979 to 1984). Anthony Joseph Joe Perry (Born September 10, 1950 in Lawrence, Massachusetts), is the lead guitarist and a contributing songwriter for the rock band Aerosmith. ... Jack Douglas is an influential American record producer. ...


Despite some critical acclaim and early success, the album quickly fell down the charts. The album has since "only" achieved platinum status. Promo videos for "No Surprize" and "Chiquita" were filmed (featuring Perry's replacement Jimmy Crespo); however, these were very rarely shown on television.


The title is a play on the phrase "right in the nuts", which was subsequently the title of the tour.

RollingStone.com: Night In The Ruts : Aerosmith : Review (334 words)
But the fact that the finest moments on Night in the Ruts sound like inspired outtakes from Rocks and Toys in the Attic suggests that Aerosmith may be stuck in a hard-rock rut of its own.
It's hardly a secret that when the spirit moves them and their amps are turned up to ten, these guys can deliver a paralyzing kick–as they imply in the graffiti on the back cover–right in the nuts.
Night in the Ruts could have used it.
