AEROSMITH In Classic Frame Of Mind On New Album

June 23, 2006

Jonathan Cohen of Billboard.com is reporting that AEROSMITH is in the thick of work on its new studio album, which should be out in spring 2007 via Columbia. The process had not been hindered by vocalist Steven Tyler's recent throat surgery, according to guitarist Joe Perry. "He's sounding better than ever," Perry tells Billboard.com. "Even just listening to him talk, his voice has this timbre that I haven't heard for years."

In addition to considering material from outside songwriters, AEROSMITH is looking to its archives for inspiration.

"There's some stuff we left off certain records that we've been scratching our heads over why that happened," Perry says. "There's also bits and pieces of things we haven't got to, and some stuff from [the 2004 blues album] 'Honkin' on Bobo' that never got finished. We want to bring some of the elements of the experimenting we've done on the albums over the last few years and mash that in with that 'Honkin' on Bobo'-kind of energy."
