Willie Nelson keeps up touring schedule as new album surfaces
With yet another new album now in stores, the hard-touring Willie Nelson gets back on the road again.
The 71-year-old country legend is canvassing North America in support of his latest studio set, "It Always Will Be," which he released on Tuesday (10/26). The in-progress tour's itinerary currently stretches into mid-December. Details are shown below.
Members of Nelson's official fan club, Club Luck, have a shot at tickets before the general public. More information is available at the club's website.
"It Always Will Be" is Nelson's first studio collection since 2002's "The Great Divide." The set includes duets with Paula Nelson, Norah Jones and Lucinda Williams, as well as a cover of Toby Keith's "Tired."
