Steven Tyler announced yesterday via Twitter that he’s releasing the first single from his upcoming country album on May 13th. The song will be called “Love Is Your Name.” No word yet on co-writes, but he’s been collaborating recently with Nashville writers including Eric Paslay, Cary Barlowe, Hillary Lindsey, and Jaren Johnston.
“Everything he sings is going to sound a little like Aerosmith, because he’s the voice. But he’s been talking about how he wants some of it to be organic,” Barlowe told Rolling Stone of the album. “It’s obviously not going to be traditional country or old-school country sounding, but he does want mandolin and a banjo in there, to change it up.”
Tyler will premiere the song on American Idol.
