Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry is thrilled to have a Grammy Award nomination from his solo album.
"Mercy," a track from "Joe Perry" which was released in May, is up for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
Perry says it's a nice cap to the solo album, a brief diversion from Aerosmith that he wishes he'd had more time to promote. "I think it was great and I had a great time doing it," he says. "I guess the only regret is that I didn't have more time to play with the live band I assembled. But it looks like Aerosmith is going to be a priority for awhile."
"Joe Perry" was the guitarist's fourth solo album and first since 1984, when he was temporarily out of Aerosmith.
Aerosmith is currently on the road promoting its new concert album "Rockin' the Joint." The group plans to record a new album in 2006.
