"&amp;quot;I grew up in the woods of New Hampshire&amp;#x2026;. I have more country in me than people think,&amp;quot; Aerosmith&amp;apos;s Steven Tyler tells Rolling Stone Country, proving his point by singing the first few lines of the band&amp;apos;s 1993 smash, &amp;quot;Cryin&amp;apos;&amp;quot; (which, mixed with a little steel guitar, could very well make for a great country song.) &amp;quot;Aerosmith always crossed the line,&amp;quot; he continues, &amp;quot;whether it was with &amp;apos;Dream On&amp;apos; or &amp;apos;Train Kept a Rollin&amp;apos;,&amp;apos; or even &amp;apos;Walk This Way&amp;apos; with Run DMC. And we sang with&amp;#xA0;Carrie Underwood on our last album.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nTyler&amp;apos;s duet with Underwood on the country-tinged power ballad, &amp;quot;Can&amp;apos;t Stop Loving You,&amp;quot; from Aerosmith&amp;apos;s Music From Another Dimension! album &amp;#x2014; along with their 2011 ACM Awards performance of the country superstar&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Undo It&amp;quot; and many duets on a 2012 episode of CMT Crossroads &amp;#x2014; make for just a few of many reasons the rock legend is slowly becoming Nashville&amp;apos;s favorite son. Back in 2006, he collaborated with country star Keith Anderson on the raucous &amp;quot;Three Chord Country and American Rock &amp;amp; Roll.&amp;quot; And much to the delight of a few hundred fans jam-packed in Nashville&amp;apos;s famed Tootsie&amp;apos;s Orchid Lounge last year, Tyler joined Keith Urban for a surprise show in celebration of his fellow American Idol judge&amp;apos;s Fuse album. This week, he presented at the 48th annual CMA Awards and will join Brad Paisley for a duet on tonight&amp;apos;s CMA Country Christmas TV taping.\r\nTyler&amp;apos;s country music brownie points keep racking up&amp;#x2026;. The iconic rocker and rising country star Jana Kramer reveal exclusively to Rolling Stone Country that they have recorded a duet called &amp;quot;Bullet&amp;quot; for Kramer&amp;apos;s next album. She co-wrote the tune with Aerosmith&amp;apos;s longtime producer Marti Frederiksen, who also happened to write &amp;quot;Undo It&amp;quot; and Aerosmith&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Jaded,&amp;quot; among other rock and country hits. When Frederiksen played Kramer&amp;apos;s song for Tyler, it was love at first listen.\r\n&amp;quot;I heard the song and went, &amp;apos;Send me the track!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; Tyler says. &amp;quot;So she sent me the files, and I went, &amp;apos;Can I sing on that?&amp;apos; So I sang every part she had. It&amp;apos;s a really cool track.&amp;quot;\r\nTo Kramer, cool is an understatement.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m in the studio and they&amp;apos;re like, &amp;apos;Holy crap, we just got background vocals from Steven Tyler!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; she recalls. &amp;quot;I put cans on and listened and immediately started crying. I FaceTimed my parents and my brother and was like, &amp;apos;Listen to this! It&amp;apos;s Steven freakin&amp;apos; Tyler!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nKramer is gunning for &amp;quot;Bullet&amp;quot; to be her next single, following the upcoming album&amp;apos;s soaring, whimsical first tune, &amp;quot;Love.&amp;quot; The former One Tree Hill actress, who was the ACM&amp;apos;s Top New Female Vocalist in 2013, is now putting the finishing touches on her second country album, due early next year."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
