Steven Tyler loves his fans, but many were certainly surprised when they heard the unexpected news—he released a country single entitled ‘Love Is Your Name.’ Known worldwide as the flamboyant and energetic frontman of Aerosmith, Tyler has long been a symbol of rock and roll. At 67 years old, the rock legend has been an essential and iconic part of Aerosmith’s success for decades. However, like many seasoned musicians, Tyler felt the urge to stretch his creative muscles and explore a new genre that has long held a place in his heart: country music.
According to several media interviews, Tyler has always been a fan of country music. This lifelong appreciation made his transition into the genre feel more natural than some may have expected. His debut country single, Love Is Your Name, showcases this new direction while still maintaining the signature Tyler flair fans have come to expect. His powerful and recognizable vocals shine through, but the song also carries a softer, more folk-inspired sound, with clear influences from acts like Mumford & Sons and the Everly Brothers.
Love Is Your Name was penned by songwriters Eric Paslay and Lindsey Lee, and it’s clear that their songwriting style complements Tyler’s voice beautifully. Since its release, the song has resonated with fans across genres, racking up over 7 million views on VEVO—a testament to Tyler’s cross-genre appeal and musical versatility.
