A Poet's Life is the first solo album by Tim Armstrong (Rancid, Transplants, Operation Ivy). It is scheduled for release on May 22, 2007 on Armstrong's own label, Hellcat Records. The album was initially announced to be released for free as downloads on the internet, but only two tracks were released in this manner[1]. The album will come with a a DVD featuring a video for every song on the album, along with a featurette about the making of the album.[2]

On August 29, 2006, Armstrong sent out a bulletin over MySpace, the text of which later appeared on Epitaph Records' site[1] (Hellcat Records is a subsidiary of Epitaph) that explained his decision to release a solo LP. Unlike most albums, Armstrong said that it would be free and downloadable over the internet, with one song being released at a time. That same day, the first track, "Hold On", appeared as an MP3 and music video on Epitaph's site. Almost two months later, on October 11, 2006, the second track, "Wake Up", was released in the same manner. No more tracks have been released in this manner, but in March 2007, "Into Action" was played on KROQ-FM.

At some point, Epitaph's site listed a release date of February 6, 2007 but sometime after that it was changed to June 7. Then, when KROQ started playing the single "Into Action", the release date was pushed up to May 22[3].
