Steven Tyler has shared his first country single, titled ‘Love Is Your Name’, and you can stream it in full below.
Tyler recently confirmed that he was working on a country album, making the announcement during a surprise visit to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
He has been living in Nashville, recording his new country album, since the beginning of the year. The album, which was produced by Dann Huff, is expected to be released later this year via Big Machine Label Group.
“I picked up and headed for Tennessee, and the FIRST DAY in the studio, I recorded a song that became my first single,” Tyler said in a press release. “And if 'Love Is Your Name,' then Nashville's my new girlfriend. I guess you could call that Beginner's Luck.”
Speaking with CBS This Morning about his country music project, Tyler said: "It’s going to be a whole new base plus the fans that love Aerosmith."

Tyler will be performing the song during tomorrow’s season finale of American Idol.
Tyler previously discussed his love of country music during a Q&A with Twitter last year, saying: "I'm going down to Nashville in January, February, March, April to write and see what we get. Doing an album is like panning for gold. You get so much sand and dirt until you find a little nugget - and you work on the nugget."
"I grew up with the Everly Brothers and there's a piece of me that just loves country so much," he continued. "I'm not sure what kind of country that is, but it's got the fifth harmony. Anyone who knows the Everly Brothers - it's those kinds of melodies that are just so good."
