With a new studio album apparently hitting store shelves next year, Clint Black [ tickets ] has begun to map out his initial tour plans for 2009.

The country star shows a rather scattered schedule at the moment, featuring a brief November stretch that kicks off Nov. 13 in Hamilton, Ontario, and runs through a Nov. 22 show in Robinsonville, MS. The singer also has at least one date each in December, January, April and June. Details are included below.

Black, whose most recent studio album is 2005's "Drinkin' Songs and Other Logic," released a compilation of his romantic hits, "The Love Songs," last year. More recently, the singer has been hard at work on a new full-length studio album, according to various media reports.

"The album will be out probably in February," Black recently told the Las Vegas Sun. "We don't have a title. That's the most challenging part. We're not really finished with it yet. I have lots of ideas for titles but we don't have a complete song selection together yet so there could be a song title that will inspire the album title."

Earlier this year, Black released a four-song digital EP, "The Long Cool EP," containing his take on The Hollies' 1972 classic "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress." The song entered the Billboard Top Country Songs chart at #58 in February.
