Rocker Steven Tyler Has Given His New Country Music Career A Boost After Landing A Role On Hit Tv Drama Nashville.
The Aerosmith frontman will star alongside Hayden Panettiere on the country-themed show, and in a tweet on Wednesday (19Aug15) he suggests he will be hitting the stage with the actress' singer character, Juliette Barnes, as part of a fictional Patsy Cline biopic.
He writes, "@haydenpanettier AND I GETTING A LITTLE 'CRAZY' ON SET AT @Nashville_ABC YOU WONT WANT TO MISS THIS......#PATSYCLINE".
Crazy was Cline's signature tune.
Tyler's guest role on the show comes just a few months after the rocker released his first country music single, Love Is Your Name, in May (15).
Speaking about his foray into the genre earlier this year (15), he told USA Today, "Country, to me, has always been oversimplified, by an accent, a truck, cowboy boots, a dirt road, a back porch, but I think it's more about freedom and pride and hard work and the girl. And knowing everybody's first name in town, you know?
"There were 1,200 people in my town when I grew up. That, to me, is country."
Tyler has teamed up with the brains behind Taylor Swift's success and a host of Nashville, Tennessee based songwriters to record a country album. A release has not been set.
