James Blunt takes 'Lost Souls' to the masses

British singer/songwriter James Blunt [ tickets ] will return to the US this summer as the opening act on the Sheryl Crow tour, and is set to embark on a Canadian tour this fall.

Blunt, who's been touring the world to support his latest album, "All The Lost Souls," is currently finishing a stint on the European festival circuit and will join Crow July 24 in Nashville. The outing, which also features Toots & the Maytals on the majority of dates, will visit 25 cities across the country though late August.

Blunt plans to follow the trek with another extensive European jaunt, and then make his way across the Pond once again in November for a string of Canadian dates with native singer/songwriter Luke Doucet. North American shows are listed below.

"All The Lost Souls," Blunt's sophomore effort, surfaced last September and debuted at No. 7 on The Billboard 200. The set has spawned the pop single "1973" and the singer's latest, "Carry You Home," both of which are streaming at his MySpace page.

The record follows Blunt's 2004 debut, "Back to Bedlam," which sold 11 million copies and earned him several Grammy nods, according to his record label. The mega-hit single from that album, "You're Beautiful," reached No. 1 across a variety of formats in the US, marking the first time a British act has topped US singles charts since Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" in 1997, according to Blunt's bio.
