Singer/songwriter Mike Doughty [ tickets ] has lined up a late-year round of headlining dates as he continues to support his latest studio release, "Golden Delicious."

The former Soul Coughing frontman kicks off the outing Nov. 28 in Woodstock, NY, and will hit another eight cities in December, including a Dec. 9 appearance at New York's Blender Theatre as part of a radio-show promotion, a bill that also includes The Ting Tings and Airborne Toxic Event. Dates are below.

For the recording of "Golden Delicious," Doughty enlisted his touring band, with the addition of Semisonic's John Munson, who sat in on bass while Livingston shifted to guitar. The singer once again tapped Dan Wilson (Jewel, Dixie Chicks) for production duties after the two worked together on Doughty's previous solo effort, 2005's "Haughty Melodic."

"With 'Haughty,' [Dan and I] started with drum machine, piano and guitar," Doughty wrote on his website. "We kept bringing people in to lay down drums, pedal steel or whatever, layer on layer. This time the intention was to make everything live, spontaneous and of the moment.

"They put their individual stamp on the music and had input into the arranging and development of the songs," he added. "I like guys who can surprise me and I was always smiling in the studio."

Doughty's former band, Soul Coughing, produced three studio albums in the '90s before breaking up in 2000.
