The documentary Steven Tyler: Out On A Limb recently had its world premiere in the city it salutes, at the opening of the Nashville Film Festival on May 10th, which Nashville Mayor Richard Briely also proclaimed as Steven Tyler Day in the city. The documentary is now streaming through video-on-demand and digital HD services.

"It shows another side of me," Tyler tells the Los Angeles Times. "It shows how great this band is, shows the vibe at the Ryman and lets folks give their opinions about music. It shows this period of time in my life. I've never done a solo record, and in that, it's pretty cool."

Along with the discovery of Interstate 440, Tyler has developed a keener appreciation for what makes rock rock, and what keeps country country.

"There's a freedom in Aerosmith that I enjoy," he said. "I can write lines [from 'Walk This Way'] like 'I talked to my daddy, he say, you ain't seen nothin' / Till you're down on a muffin,' and use the filthiest words on the planet. Then we could write something [more introspective] like 'Cryin': [he starts singing] 'There was a time I was so broken-hearted….' which could be called a very country song."
