Iconic songwriter and prolific singer Steven Tyler has released his first Country single "Love Is Your Name".
Tyler, who was recently signed to Dot Records underneath the Big Machine Label Group umbrella (Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw), will release the 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, a Universal Music India statement said.
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.
Tyler also performed "Love Is Your Name" LIVE on the American Idol season finale on FOX (8/7 Central).
