Hag Kicks Into Gear
Having recently wrapped up recording sessions with George Jones, Merle Haggard will travel through the Western U.S. this October.
Haggard will do 10 shows in as many days, starting October 5 at First Bank United Center in Canyon, Texas. He’ll play two dates at Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace in his hometown of Bakersfield October 9-10, then head to UCLA’s Royce Hall for a gig with Ramblin’ Jack Elliott.
The trek will finish in Stockton, Calif., October 14.
Hag’s collaboration with George Jones, Kickin’ Out The Footlights … Again, is due out October 24. The album features the two country legends performing each other’s compositions and singing together on several songs.
Prior to entering the studio in Nashville with Jones, Haggard did a number of spring dates on his own and with Bob Dylan.
