Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is making the transition to country music, and has announced plans to release a country music album.

Tyler will reportedly be signing a deal with Scott Borchetta's Big Machine Label Group, and he may have country songs out as soon as November.

Although the record deal has not yet been announced officially, Billboard reports that Tyler relocated to Nashville in January, and that Big Machine A&R staffers have been setting up writing sessions for him with songwriters such as Brett James and The Cadillac Three's Jaren Johnston.

"I'm going down to Nashville in January, February, March, April, to write and see what we get," he told fans during a recently Twitter Q&A.

"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 . . ."

Neither Tyler or Big Machine has yet to officially comment.
