Travis Tritt rides 'The Storm' across America

Country singer Travis Tritt is back on the road to tackle a host of North American dates in support of his latest album, "The Storm."

Shows continue tomorrow (1/18) with a two-night stand in Bay Saint Louis, MS, and then skip into late February, when Tritt is scheduled to play three shows in British Columbia. Scattered US dates in club, theater, casino and festival venues continue through summer. Details are listed below.

In September, Tritt released "The Storm," his first new studio album in three years. The set, co-produced by noted bass player and "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, showcases Tritt's brand of blue-eyed country soul. The collaboration grew out of Tritt's appearance on "Overnight Sensational," an album that Jackson produced for Sam Moore in 2006.

"The Storm," which reached No. 3 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, features tunes written by Tritt, Diane Warren, Rob Thomas and Hank Williams Jr., and features special guest performers including Charlie Daniels and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

So far, the album has spawned the Richard Marx-penned single "You Never Take Me Dancing," which spent 21 weeks on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and became Tritt's 40th Top 40 single.

"The Storm" is Tritt's debut on new indie label Category 5 Records. Following his previous studio release, 2004's highly acclaimed "My Honky Tonk History," the performer parted ways with Columbia Records due to differing opinions on the project's direction, according to a message posted at his website at the time.

Tritt has sold more than 25 million records and earned two Grammys and three Country Music Association Awards during his career.
