Steven Tyler has recorded a solo version of the Aerosmith hit "Janie's Got a Gun" for the upcoming film Jane Got a Gun, starring Natalie Portman.
Tyler told Rolling Stone that his solo version of the Aerosmith classic, which originally appeared on the band's 1989 album Pump, is a "dark, smoky backroom rendition." The solo take is the first of many more solo outings to come from Tyler, who is working on a new solo album in Nashville.
"I'm going down to Nashville [in] January, February, March, April to write and see what we get," he told fans on Twitter. "You know, doing an album is kind of like panning for gold. You get so much sand and dirt until you find a little nugget and you work on the nugget. I always go backwards, you know? "Living on the Edge," why? Or "Janie's Got a Gun," why? Who's Janie? And then it works. You fill in the blanks."
Jane Got a Gun tells the story of when "a woman asks her ex-lover for help in order to save her outlaw husband from a gang out to kill him," according to the film's IMDB page. Set for release on September 4, the film also stars Ewan McGregor.
