NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Iconic songwriter and prolific singer STEVEN TYLER will debut his first Country single "Love Is Your Name" on May 13.

Tyler has been residing in Nashville since January where he has been hanging out and collaborating with some of Music Row's finest singers and songwriters.

"I picked up and headed for Tennessee, and the FIRST DAY in the studio, I recorded a song that became my first single, and if 'Love Is Your Name,' then Nashville's my new girlfriend. I guess you could call that Beginner's Luck," said Tyler.

Later that evening Tyler will perform "Love Is Your Name" LIVE on the American Idol season finale on FOX (8/7 Central).
