Dean Goodman from Reuters.com is reporting:
AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry gets to spread his wings on his fifth solo CD, Joe Perry … Have Guitar Will Travel, which he hopes to release in November.
Perry, who sings on four of the tracks, also expects to tour early next year under the guise of the Joe Perry Project. The album follows a self-titled, Grammy-nominated effort that came out in 2005 and sold 31,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. His first three solo albums, all credited to the Joe Perry Project, were released in the early 1980s when he briefly quit Aerosmith during its drug-fueled nadir.
Have Guitar … Will Travel, a nod to the similarly titled 1959 BO DIDDLEY album, was named by a fan, Joe Piscitelli, after Perry asked for submissions via Twitter. Five of the tracks are sung by a relatively unknown German musician called HAGEN. He was discovered by Perry’s wife, Billie, on YouTube. The remaining song on the disc is an instrumental. The first single is 'Long Way to Go'. Other cuts include a cover of the early FLEETWOOD MAC tune 'Somebody’s Gonna Get (Their Head Kicked In Tonite)' as well as the new song 'Oh Lord', which Perry sings.
