After strutting onto the stage of the Grand Ole Opry during Eric Paslay's performance earlier this month and teasing his upcoming country album, Steven Tyler has made it official. Rolling Stone Country recently confirmed that Tyler has signed a deal with Dot Records, the label that Scott Borchetta and his Big Machine Group revived last year, to release his debut solo album.
While no specific release date or title has been announced, the album, set for release later this year, will feature songs that Tyler has already been writing and recording in Nashville over the past few months. So far he's collaborated with writers like Paslay, Hillary Lindsey, Cary Barlowe and the Cadillac Three's Jaren Johnston.
"There was an immediate connection with Scott and Big Machine, and Nashville seems like the perfect segue for a solo project... and Dot Records is the right fit. My earliest influences put me somewhere between the Everly Brothers and the Carter Family, and this project is all about me paying homage to my country roots," Tyler says. "I've been working with some fucking epic Nashville songwriters, getting my feet wet with the style and groove."Further details can be found at this location.
