Joe Perry Project Release Date for “Have Guitar Will Travel”

Category: Blog, News · 1
 

According to Dean Goodman from Reuters, Joe Perry has set the title of his new CD as “Have Guitar Will Travel”, which he hopes will be out in November.
In what is even better news, Perry, who sings on four of the tracks, also expects to tour early next year under the guise of the Joe Perry Project.
His first three solo albums, all credited to the Joe Perry Project, were released in the early 1980s when he briefly quit Aerosmith during the most drug fueled time of the band’s carreer.

From Reuters:
Have Guitar … Will Travel,” a nod to the similarly titled 1959 Bo Diddley album, was named by a fan, Joe Piscitelli, after Perry asked for submissions via Twitter. Five of the tracks are sung by a relatively unknown German musician called Hagen. He was discovered by Perry’s wife, Billie, on YouTube. The remaining song on the disc is an instrumental. The first single is “Long Way to Go.” Other cuts include a cover of the early Fleetwood Mac tune “Somebody’s Gonna Get (Their Head Kicked In Tonite)” as well as the new song “Oh Lord,” which Perry sings.

“That’s kinda like a Jim Morrison-y prayer set to music,” Perry told Reuters in a recent interview. ”My son sings in the choir at school, and I had him bring in some of his friends and they came in and sang the choruses and things and helped with the vibe. That’s the kinda thing I really don’t hear in an Aerosmith record.”

Joe’s last self titled solo CD sold 31,000 copies and was nominated for a Grammy.

  1. He really should have come up with a better name for the album. Doing this is equal to Radiohead naming an album “Rubber Soul”. In case you didn’t know “Have Guitar Will Travel” is the name of one of Bo Diddley’s legendary LPs.
    I’ve seen Bo Diddley, I’ve listened to Bo Diddley and Joe Perry is no Bo Diddley!
