Steven Tyler has been preparing to release his first country album by spending a lot of time in Nashville writing songs with some of Nashville’s top writers and he says, “I find that writing in general is quite a task. It takes putting a whole day aside, or collecting notes that accumulated over months and months, for specific songs, for different things.”
As much of a task as it can be, Steven’s Nashville writing experience has been very rewarding. He says, “I particularly like this collaborating in Nashville because I go in, we drink a ton of coffee, we BS for two hours and then the songs come out. There’s nothing like going to bed and listening to something you spent all day workin’ on and thinkin’ to yourself; maybe, just maybe, this’ll make it onto the radio.”
Steven didn’t write his first country single, “Love Is Your Name,” but he has written plenty more songs that will likely appear on his debut country album.
