Aerosmith's Steven Tyler has recorded a version of the Rolling Stones’ 1971 hit "Brown Sugar" for the compilation album Muscle Shoals…Small Town, Big Sound. The new effort, which will be released on September 28 via BMG, is a tribute to Alabama's Muscle Shoals sound. Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt also plays on the track, which was recorded at FAME Studios.

Speaking with Joe Rogan Experience host/comedian Joe Rogan, Tyler described the song as "sick as fuck.” He added about his version of "Brown Sugar": "We got all the players from way back then, the horn sections, got girls to sing it."
