Steven Tyler says he's working on a new solo album and heading down to Nashville to do so. He dished on the news during a video Q&A with Twitter Music at Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco.
"I'm going down to Nashville in January, February, March, April to write and see what we get," he began.
"You know, doing an album is kind of like panning for gold. You get so much sand and dirt until you find a little nugget and you work on the nugget.
I always go backwards, you know? 'Living on the Edge,' why? Or 'Janie's Got a Gun,' why? Who's Janie? And then it works. You fill in the blanks."
He also talked about including some of his country influences on the LP.
"There's a piece of me that just loves country so much. And I'm not sure what kind of country that is, but it's got the fifth harmony, and anyone who knows who the Everly Brothers is — it's those kinds of melodies that are just so, so good."
