STEVEN TYLER - “I Flit From Flower To Flower, Country To Country, Looking For Good Times And Singing About The Last Time... That's What I'm Putting Into The Country Songs”; "Love Is Your Name" Single Streaming
May 13, 2015, 9 years ago
Iconic songwriter and prolific singer, Steven Tyler, debuts his first country single, "Love Is Your Name”, today, May 13th. The track is streaming below.
"Country, to me, has always been oversimplified, by an accent, a truck, cowboy boots, a dirt road, a back porch," Tyler tells USA Today. "But I think it's more about freedom and pride and hard work and the girl. And knowing everybody's first name in town, you know? There were 1,200 people in my town when I grew up. That, to me, is country."Tyler's new single may be finished, but his upcoming solo album isn't — and won't be until after Aerosmith finishes a two-month North American tour.
"I've got to find time to come back and record these songs after the Aerosmith tour," Tyler says. "But I flit from flower to flower, country to country, looking for good times and singing about the last time. That's what I'm putting into the country songs."Read more at USAToday.
Tyler, who was recently signed to Dot Records underneath the Big Machine Label Group umbrella (Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw), is releasing the "Love Is Your Name” single across multiple media properties with exclusive interviews and a live televised performance.
"Love Is Your Name" is the first single off Tyler's highly anticipated debut solo album. The song was produced by Dann Huff and recorded in Nashville at Blackbird studios. Tyler has been residing in Nashville since January where he has been hanging out and collaborating with some of Music Row's finest singers and songwriters.
"I picked up and headed for Tennessee, and the FIRST DAY in the studio, I recorded a song that became my first single, and if “Love Is Your Name”, then Nashville's my new girlfriend. I guess you could call that Beginner's Luck," said Tyler.
Today, Wednesday, May 13th, iHeartMedia will host a World Premiere of "Love Is Your Name" across more than 120 mainstream country stations nationwide. Additionally, Tyler will interview live on the air with iHeartMedia's nationally-syndicated country music personality Bobby Bones where he will talk about the song and his adventures in Nashville. The award-winning Bobby Bones Show is heard on more than 80 radio stations across the country and nationally through the iHeartRadio digital service.
Tyler will sit down for an exclusive interview with host Nancy O'Dell for an interview airing on both the #1 rated, syndicated entertainment newsmagazine show Entertainment Tonight (check local listings), and CBS This Morning. Tyler will perform "Love Is Your Name" tonight, live on the American Idol season finale on FOX (8/7 Central).
"Love Is Your Name" is available at all digital retailers where music is sold.
