George Strait returns to the road in January
With his two-disc greatest-hits set "50 Number Ones" now on the shelves, country mainstay George Strait is preparing to spend early 2005 on the road.
Strait is scheduled to embark on his latest arena tour in mid-January, and dates so far stretch through early March. Tickets for only one show--Feb. 5 in Las Vegas--were on sale at press time, with many more set to go on the market in December, according to Strait's website. More information is in the itinerary below.
Strait's new best-of collection features previously released tracks that span from his first No. 1--1982's "Fool Hearted Memory"--to 2002's "She'll Leave You with a Smile." Besides the 50 previous chart toppers, the set also includes his new No. 1 country single, "I Hate Everything."
According to his publicist, Strait has sold more than 62 million records over the course of his career, and has earned more No. 1 singles than any other country artist. "50 Number Ones" marks his 32nd album release; each of the previous 31 are certified gold or platinum.
