Joe Perry Preps All-Star Solo Album ‘Sweetzerland Manifesto’

BY DANIEL KREPS

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry will release his all-star solo album Sweetzerland Manifesto in January 2018.

The 10-track album, executive produced by Perry’s Hollywood Vampires band mate, Johnny Depp, features guest vocalists like Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander, the New York Dolls’ David Johansen and Terry Reid alongside musicians like drummer Zak Starkey and Perry’s sons Tony and Roman on synths and drum programming.

“It’s going to be interesting to see what songs people gravitate to because there’s such a wide variety of tunes,” Perry said in a statement.

All of the Sweetzerland Manifesto tracks were either written by Perry or a collaboration between the guitarist and his guest vocalist; the lone exception is a cover of P.F. Sloan’s “Eve of Destruction,” featuring Perry himself on vocals while Depp provides drums.

Sweetzerland Manifesto, due out January 18th on Roman Records, is Perry’s first solo LP since 2009’s Have Guitar, Will Travel. Perry recorded the album at Los Angeles’ Studio 1480, with the guitarist producing the album with Bruce Witkin.
