Freshly inducted Country Music Hall of Famer George Strait [ tickets ] has firmed up his concert schedule as he prepares to launch the first leg of his 2007 tour.

Strait, who in November was ushered into the Country Music Hall of Fame, will kick off his trek Jan. 11 in Lafayette, LA. The outing backs his most recent studio album, October's "It Just Comes Natural."

Strait's schedule so far covers 23 dates and concludes with a pair of newly announced mid-March shows in Uncasville, CT. Details are shown below.

Fellow country legend Ronnie Milsap will serve as a special guest and teen-aged singer Taylor Swift [ tickets ] will be the opening act during the outing.

"It Just Comes Natural," by official count the 34th studio album of Strait's long career, hit stores Oct. 3. The disc was certified platinum in November, marking the 32nd time in his career the Texas native has hit the 1 million mark in sales, according to a press release.

Strait--who, according to his publicist, has sold more than 62 million albums since he debuted in 1981, and has topped the country chart with 52 different singles--preceded the new album's release with the currently charting single "Give It Away."

Among the album's other tracks are the ballad "That's My Kind of Woman" (co-written by frequent Strait collaborator Dean Dillon), "She Told Me So" (a Bobby Braddock song), the title track (penned by Marv Green and Jim Collins) and "One Foot in Front of the Other" (by Lee Roy Parnell and Cris Moore).

Three of Strait's trademark cowboy tunes can be found among the set's 15 tracks: "I Ain't Her Cowboy Anymore," "How 'Bout them Cowgirls" and the Guy Clark-penned "Texas Cookin'."
