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

August 04, 2009 By: mbutler Category: Blog, News

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.
If you don’t have those first 3 Joe Perry Project records, GO GET THEM!
