Alan Jackson gears up for 2005 'What I Do' tour
Country singer Alan Jackson hits the road this spring for a headlining tour behind last year's "What I Do."
The outing--which also features Sara Evans and newcomers The Wrights--kicks off in late April, and a steady string of dates stretches into late May; subsequent dates are scattered into November. The itinerary is included below.
In addition to his tour dates, Jackson's plans include a performance at this year's CMT Music Awards ceremony, which airs April 11 on CMT. While on hand, Jackson has a shot at picking up trophies for Male Video of the Year (for "Monday Morning Church") and Collaborative Video of the Year (for "Hey Good Lookin'" with Jimmy Buffett, Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith and George Strait).
Jackson is also vying for Top Male Vocalist and Vocal Event of the Year (for "Hey Good Lookin'") at this year's ACM Awards, which airs May 17 on CBS.
Jackson's latest album, "What I Do," surfaced last September, and debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart.
Evans is backing 2003's "Restless." The platinum-certified set features the hits "Perfect" and "Suds."
The Wrights--featuring Jackson's nephew, Adam Wright, and Wright's wife, Shannon--deliver their debut set, "Down This Road," in May.
Jackson, a three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year award winner, has recorded 14 albums, earned 31 No. 1 singles and sold more than 43 million records over the course of his career, according to a press release.
