Country legend George Jones has added a raft of fall dates in Canada to his always crowded touring calendar, along with new US shows in November and December.
The veteran crooner will kick off the 12-city Canadian leg Oct. 5 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The jaunt will conclude Oct. 24 in Kingston, Ontario. Jones' never-ending current tour continues Wednesday night (7/15) in Phoenix. Details are shown below.
The performer's latest album, "Burn Your Playhouse Down: The Unreleased Duets," surfaced last August. The tracks on the set range from a mid-'70s recording with Jones' late ex-wife, Tammy Wynette, to a 2007 recording with the couple's daughter, Georgette.
Other duet partners on the record include Keith Richards, Vince Gill, Dolly Parton, Ricky Skaggs, Mark Knopfler, Marty Stuart, Leon Russell, Mark Chesnutt, Shelby Lynne, and Tavern Choir with Jim Lauderdale.
Jones has sustained a music career for more than 50 years and is constantly referred to as the greatest country singer of all time. The two-time Grammy winner has upwards of 1,000 songs under his belt and has charted 166 singles--more than any other artist in any music format, according to his bio.
