Joe Perry has revealed that he is working on a new instrumental solo album, the fifth solo album of his career.

"Been in the studio working on my solo instrumental CD I began when writing Rocks my autobio. but didn't have enough time," Perry tweeted.

"It'll have diversity, maybe 1-2 songs with me singing or another singer, but mainly it'll be an instrumental album."

Perry stopped short of revealing any official release date but did mention that his holiday EP, Joe Perry's Merry Christmas, is being reissued later this year.

He also hinted at possible future solo releases down the road with Aerosmith's future in question and frontman Steven Tyler focusing on his pending solo country album.

The new album will be Perry's first solo release since 2009's Have Guitar, Will Travel.
