Joe Perry has just released a Christmas EP, ‘Joe Perry’s Merry Christmas,’ featuring four holiday favorites.

The EP, which is available now, includes Perry’s takes on the holiday perennials ‘White Christmas,’ ‘Silent Night,’ ‘Santa Claus Is Back in Town’ and ‘Run Run Rudolph.’

Two of the songs are instrumentals; the other two feature Perry on vocals. Johnny Depp supplies rhythm guitar on all tracks.

'The two instrumentals are among the 10 most popular Christmas songs. Almost everyone knows the lyrics to 'Silent Night' and 'White Christmas', so we treated them as songs that people could sing along to, while staying close to the classic versions everyone knows. The two vocal songs, 'Santa's Back in Town' and 'Run Run Rudolph' are rockers made famous by Elvis and Chuck Berry. They are probably less well known so you would have to hear the lyrics to know they are Christmas songs. They are two of my favorite holiday songs.'

“I have wanted to do a Christmas CD with Aerosmith for years, but it seems we never have the time to record one,” Perry says in a press release announcing the album.
