Aerosmith are kicking off 2013 with the release of a new single from their latest album, “Music From Another Dimesnion.”
“Can’t Stop Lovin' You” features a duet with Steven Tyler and country superstar Carrie Underwood.
The decision to ask Underwood to sing on the track and enhance the country flavorings was natural. Tyler had previously duetted on a mash-up of Carrie’s hit “Undo It” and Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” at the 46th Annual Academy of Country Awards in 2011. In early 2012, the two were also paired for a CMT Crossroads special.
In an interview with Rolling Stone.com about the song, Tyler said, “I sang it a little country and western…and all along we thought, should we get someone in…It was last-minute. She (Carrie) was in town doing something. I called her up and she said, 'I'm leaving tomorrow.' And I said, 'Can you come over tonight?' I called Joe (Perry) up, and the rest is history. She just did it. It really does work.”
"It's an honor to have my voice included on an Aerosmith record,” said Underwood. “I've had a blast working with Steven a number of times in the past, and this was another amazing thing we got to do together.”
