Multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inductees Aerosmith, British multi-platinum, GRAMMY® nominated artist Yungblud and GRAMMY® Award-winning American country singer, songwriter and actress Lainey Wilson today shared “Wild Woman (Lainey Wilson Version),” an electric new version of “Wild Woman” from Aerosmith and Yungblud’s collaborative EP One More Time, out now via Capitol Records. Built on the original track’s blues-infused foundation and briskly strummed chords, the new take showcases Wilson’s bold vocal performance, adding a distinct country edge that complements the song’s rock foundation.   

Speaking about the new version of “Wild Woman,” Yungblud shares, “I’m really hyped to have Lainey Wilson jump on this record with us. I have been a fan of her for a while. Her life story is truly inspirational. With this record, we really needed a female vocalist who could carry it with the level of authenticity that Lainey embodies. We needed a wild woman and we for sure got one!”  

Listen to “Wild Woman (Lainey Wilson Version)” HERE. Watch the accompanying visual HERE.  

Listen to One More Time HERE.  The EP is available digitally and as limited-edition vinyl, CD, and cassette HERE. 

The song’s release follows the breakthrough chart debut of One More Time, which entered the Top 10 of the Billboard 200—one of the top rock debuts of the year—extending Aerosmith’s six-decade streak of Top 10 Billboard 200 entries and delivering Yungblud’s first-ever Top 10 on the chart. With nearly 40,000 first-week units, the EP also debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums, as well as No. 1 on Indie Store Album Sales, No. 2 on Vinyl Albums, and No. 3 on Top Album Sales, and opened at No. 1 in the UK—Aerosmith’s first-ever UK No. 1 in their 49-year chart history and Yungblud’s second UK No. 1 of the year—while landing in the Top 5 across multiple territories including Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. 

“Wild Woman (Lainey Wilson Version)” took shape after Steven Tyler and Lainey Wilson performed “Dream On” together at Tyler’s 6th annual Jam for Janie benefit in February 2025, held in support of Janie’s Fund, his initiative aiding young women and girls who have survived abuse. As the One More Time sessions progressed, Tyler and Yungblud invited Wilson to bring her voice to the track, with Joe Perry returning to the studio to craft a new guitar part for this version. 

The collaboration arrives during a banner year for Wilson, who is fresh off of hosting the 2025 CMA Awards, where she was the first woman to host the show solo since 1991, and took home three trophies including Entertainer of the Year. With three nominations at the upcoming GRAMMY Awards, Wilson was recently named to the TIME100 Next 2025 list of influential rising stars alongside Gracie Abrams and Becky G, and headlined the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Her single “Somewhere Over Laredo” is #1 at country radio and Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Marking Aerosmith’s first new music in more than twelve years, the five-track One More Time collection — produced by Matt Schwartz — rallies two generations of rock ’n’ roll across four original songs co-written by Aerosmith and Yungblud. With Tyler and Yungblud dueting on every track and Joe Perry’s signature guitar driving the sound, the project was introduced with the lead single“My Only Angel“ (and accompanying visual) which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, remained in the Top 10 for three weeks, and landed across multiple rock and alternative charts.  Following the original, Aerosmith and Yungblud shared “My Only Angel (Desert Road Version),” a stripped-back reinterpretation featuring a special guest performance from GRAMMY® Award winner Steve Martin on banjo and released alongside a companion visual.

The EP also includes the original version of “Wild Woman,” alongside “Problems,” a cinematic, widescreen rocker, and “A Thousand Days,” a reflective ballad that pairs Yungblud’s raw delivery with Tyler’s soulful response. The collection closes with a newly remixed 2025 version of the Aerosmith classic “Back in the Saddle,” amplifying the original’s power with Yungblud’s grit and Tyler’s unmistakable wail. 

One More Time EP Tracklist:

  1. My Only Angel
  2. Problems
  3. Wild Woman
  4. A Thousand Days
  5. Back In The Saddle (2025 Mix)
  6. Wild Woman (Lainey Wilson Version)

ABOUT AEROSMITH

Aerosmith are one of the most influential and impactful bands in history. To date, the quintet—Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer—have sold over 150 million albums globally, garnered four GRAMMY® Awards, earned induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® (class of 2001), and played to over 100 million fans across every livable continent. From the streets of Boston, MA in 1970, they forever raised the bar for rock ‘n’ roll with soulful swagger, blues gusto, eloquent songcraft, and epic vision, inspiring generations of fans and artists to follow. 

As one of only four American rock bands with more than 90 million RIAA albums sold—and one of just two with 25 RIAA gold and platinum albums—their catalog includes 30 albums reaching the Billboard Top 200 and 28 songs appearing on the Billboard Hot 100. Both the 9x-Platinum Toys In The Attic [1975] and 4x-Platinum Rocks [1976] earned spots on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” while their signature single “Dream On” not only streamed more than 5 billion times but also earned a place in the GRAMMY® Hall of Fame. Additional career highlights include producing era-defining music videos such as “Amazing,” “Crazy,” “Janie’s Got a Gun,” “Livin’ on the Edge,” and “Love in an Elevator.” Their Top 5 chart-topping hits include “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” “Angel,” “Janie’s Got a Gun,” and “Love in an Elevator.” “Dream On” ranks as the third most streamed classic rock song and the 18th most streamed rock song overall, based on Luminate data, spending 23 weeks on the chart and peaking at #6. 

Aerosmith also hold the record for the most total RIAA certifications by an American group. They were the first hard rock band to appear at a Super Bowl Halftime Show and the first band to have their own attraction at Disney World with Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith.  Continuing to break ground in 2025, Aerosmith released One More Time—a collaborative EP with YUNGBLUD—on November 21 via Capitol Records, marking their first new release in over 12 years. The project extends the band’s extraordinary chart legacy as Aerosmith lands yet another top-10 debut, continuing a six-decade streak matched by only one other band (The Rolling Stones) and just three solo artists: Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, and James Taylor. With a steady increase and 25 million monthly Spotify listeners, Aerosmith continues to reach new fans every day.

Uriah Heep’s Ex-Lead Singer PETER GOALBY Releases Long Lost Solo Album “Don’t Think This Is Over”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on December 7, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Peter Goalby. Leave a comment

PETER GOALBY was the lead singer of Uriah Heep, Trapeze and Fable but has now retired from the music industry after an illustrious career.

Peter had been living with the knowledge he’d recorded a solo album just after leaving Uriah Heep but it was only when a poorly labelled DAT was spotted, at a storage facility over 30 years later, that the lost album was found.

The album was finished when his Uriah Heep bandmates Mick Box (guitar) and John Sinclair (keys) added the final overdubs to the tracks in 2025.  The 9-track album was personally overseen (from tape transfer, mastering and artwork) by Peter Goalby.

Peter Goalby explained the background to the release: “In 1987 I was offered a recording and publishing contract with RAK Records just after I’d left Uriah Heep.  I thought these songs would be very commercial in the 1980s and Smokie recorded Fallin’ Apart. I later found out the master tapes had been lost and I silently carried the disappointment that music I’d put my heart and soul into was gone forever.  Never say never!”

The lost album’s release follows the successful release of Easy With The Heartaches and then I Will Come Runnin’.  Don’t Think This Is Over is OUT NOW from all good retailers:

–Amazon CD: https://geni.us/DontThinkCD
–Apple Music: https://geni.us/PGapplemusic
–Spotify: https://geni.us/PGspotify

All Peter Goalby’s solo albums are also available from Cherry Red: https://www.cherryred.co.uk/artists/peter-goalby

‘Death Grip’ is the latest hammer blow from Oakland’s hardcore juggernaut Lionheart, taken from their upcoming album Valley of Death II. Powered by crushing intensity, massive grooves, and a standout guest feature from Kevin Skaff from A Day To Remember the track delivers everything fans expect. Heavy riffs, riot-ready shouts, and that unmistakable street-born edge.
