Rock icon-turned-country artist Steven Tyler will perform on the August 4 episode of NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". The AEROSMITH frontman's debut solo album, "We're All Somebody From Somewhere", recently entered Billboard's Top Country Albums chart at No. 1 with first-week sales of 17,000 copies, according to Nielsen Music. On the all-genre, consumption-based Billboard 200, it started at No. 19, with 18,000 equivalent album units. "We're All Somebody From Somewhere" arived on July 15 via Big Machine Label Group's Dot Records.
