Steven Tyler has stood up in defense of country star Sam Hunt following some criticism that he’s “not country enough.” The Aerosmith star spoke up with TMZ while exiting the airport and says that those critics need to “back off” and let the artist express himself. “I love him . . . Have you ever heard the phrase ‘country is the new rock and roll?’ Ya know, there chords and the truth? It’s just music is always evolving. It just is what it is. When you hear ‘We’re All Somebody From Somewhere,’ which is the title track from album, you’re gonna go ‘well that’s not necessarily country.’ But a lot of it is.” “We’re All Somebody From Somewhere” follows previously released tracks “Love Is Your Name” and “Red, White & You,” which are taken off of Tyler’s country music debut, We’re All Somebody From Somewhere. Tyler recorded the album in Nashville, which he says clearly influenced his sound. “I believe y’all are gonna listen to this stuff and you’re gonna agree with me that it fell from a star,” Tyler told Rolling Stone.
