Big & Rich 'Raising Hell' on upcoming trek
Country duo Big & Rich has lined up a slate of shows on the fair and casino circuit as it continues to back its latest album, "Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace."
The pair--a.k.a. Big Kenny and John Rich--will hit Great Falls, MT, tomorrow (8/1), the next stop on an itinerary that currently shows 16 stops, ending with a Dec. 9-11 engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton. All dates are included below.
"Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace," released in June, is the pair's third album, and follows 2005's "Comin' to Your City."
The duo recently celebrated its first No. 1 hit, with the lead single from the new album, "Lost in This Moment," climbing to the top of Billboard's Country Singles chart.
Penned by Rich along with Rodney Clawson and Keith Anderson, the song had sat on the duo's shelf for several years. "It's been sitting around in a catalog for four, five years now," Rich recently told CMT Radio. "Just didn't seem like, early on, something we would sound good doing. But we listened to it on the bus and I said I always thought this was a pretty good song ... we said let's cut it and see how it turns out. And it turned out really great."
