Gary Allan tackles huge summer tour

Country singer Gary Allan has announced a huge slate of shows for the summer fair and festival season as he supports his recent chart-topping best-of album.

Allan will kick things off July 4 in Lexington, KY, at the annual Red White and Boom fireworks extravaganza. Most of the nearly 40 dates on Allan's summer calendar consist of appearances at state and county fairs, with a smattering of full-fledged headlining shows tossed into the mix. The singer's complete schedule is listed below.

The 15-track "Greatest Hits"--which contains two brand new songs, including Allan's current single, "A Feelin' Like That"--debuted at No. 1 in March on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, giving the singer back-to-back No. 1 albums following his 2005 hit, "Tough All Over."

"A Feelin' Like That," along with several other tunes from Allan's "Greatest Hits," are streaming at the singer's MySpace page.
