Alan Jackson looks forward to 'Good Time'
The country
star is set to kick things off Feb. 2 with afternoon and evening
performances at the Livestock and Rodeo Show in San Antonio, TX. From
there, he'll visit a handful of arenas and festivals across the US and
then join Brooks & Dunn for a run of April concerts in Canada. Details are listed below.
Jackson's
17th album, "Good Time" is scheduled to drop March 4. The set's lead
single, "Small Town Southern Man," has already made an impact at radio,
currently holding the No. 11 spot on Billboard's Hot Country Songs
chart after 10 weeks.
After releasing two chart-topping albums
in 2006 (the award-winning inspirational collection "Precious Memories"
and the Grammy-nominated "Like Red on a Rose"), "Good Time" returns
Jackson to his role as songwriter. In fact, the set is the first album
Jackson has written in its entirety.
The singer has certainly
had success in the past with his own compositions, taking songwriting
credit for 21 of his 31 No. 1 singles, according to a press release.
"Good
Time" also reunites Jackson with longtime collaborator Keith Stegall,
who produced or co-produced all but one of the superstar's previous
albums.
Jackson also appears on last spring's "Live at Texas
Stadium" with George Strait and Jimmy Buffett, as well as the
forthcoming compilation "How Great Thou Art: Gospel Favorites Live from
the Grand Ole Opry," which is due Feb. 5.
The three-time Country
Music Association Entertainer of the Year is currently nominated for a
Grammy in the "Best Male Country Vocal Performance" category for his
single "A Woman's Love," off of the Alison Krauss-produced "Like Red on
a Rose."
Jackson, who is often referred to as a standard-bearer
of traditional country, has sold more than 45 million records since
1989 and won upwards of 95 industry awards, according to his bio.
