Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry is in the midst of putting out a brand new solo album - his first that isn't a holiday album in eight years. The album is titled Sweetzerland Manifesto and is due out January 19th. To give the fans a taste of what is coming, Perry has released a track named Aye, Aye, Aye - a track he collaborated on with Cheap Trick vocalist Robin Zander (which can be listened to here).
To me Aye, Aye, Aye doesn't sound like anything particularly ear grabbing, but it still sounds a lot more like the kind of rough n' tumble Aerosmith kind of rock n' roll we know and love than the band's last album Music From Another Dimension did. That said, it's a very energy filled performance. There is a lot of passion flowing and I will give Perry and Zander credit for that. I just wish that there would have been one of Perry's signature style riffs placed in there to give it more of a hook.
I am still very much interested in hearing what the full album will be like. Perry lined up a lot of great talent for it from what I've heard. Whether or not it all comes together in a way where it is the next great rock n' roll record however is yet to be seen. I will do my best to not expect too much from it, but it's difficult to not get a bit excited over it. We'll see how it turns out.
