The Aerosmith guitarist is ready to release his fifth solo album in November.

Aerosmith's Joe Perry is prepared to release his fifth solo effort, "Joe Perry… Have Guitar Will Travel" this November.

Perry asked for fan suggestions as to what he should name the album via Twitter and Joe Piscitelli had the winning suggestion with a nod toward Bo Diddley's 1959 album, "Have Guitar, Will Travel."

The guitarist hopes to tour next year under the moniker, the Joe Perry Project. He released his first three solo albums under the same name in the early 1980s when he took a hiatus from Aerosmith. His self-titled fourth effort came out in 2005 and garnered a Grammy nomination.

Perry sings four tracks and a German singer named Hagen that Perry's wife found on YouTube sings five of the album's tracks. The album's first single will be "Long Way to Go," and a new tune "Love Song" and an early Fleetwood Mac cover "Somebody's Gonna Get (Their Head Kicked In Tonite" round out the album.

Aerosmith is currently on tour in North America.
