FYI: STEVEN TYLER’S ‘WE’RE ALL SOMEBODY FROM SOMEWHERE’ COMING ON JULY 15TH
Steven Tyler will release his debut solo album, the country-tinged We’re All Somebody From Somewhere, on July 15th, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. The Aerosmith frontman appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and spoke about the album, explaining, “I headed down to Nashville last spring to start working on this project, wrote some kick ass songs with some of Music City’s finest songwriters and now we get to share them with the world on July 15th. . . Country music is the new rock n’ roll. It’s not just about porches, dogs and kicking your boots up. It’s a whole lot more. It’s about being real.”
Tyler’s latest single, and the album’s title track, will be released on June 24th. Tyler co-produced the We’re All Somebody From Somewhere with such heavyweights as T Bone Burnett, Dan Huff, Marti Fredriksen, and Jaren Johnston.
•Tyler spoke about the strength of the new material, telling, Rolling Stone, “I believe y’all are gonna listen to this stuff and you’re gonna agree with me that it fell from a star. I had nothing to do with this s***, it’s just Nashville. There’s something so magical about this town and me writing with all these people.”
