Aerosmith have just finished recording their latest album – and it's a blues album. The tracks will be mixed down over the coming months and the album will probably be released in the new year.
Joe Perry said: "All the basics are done, we're probably three-quarters done with the overdubs. And there really aren't many to do, because we cut the album basically live."
The band co-produced the album with long time Aerosmith producer Jack Douglas ('Toys in the Attic' (1975) 'Rocks' (1976)). Insiders say that the as-yet-untitled album may contain covers of Muddy Waters' 'I'm Ready', Little Walter's 'Temperature', Fleetwood Mac's 'Stop Messin' Round' and Mississippi Fred McDowell's 'You Gotta Move'. The band have said that there will be new Aerosmith material as well.
The album is also said to include Perry on lead vocals on a number of songs.
