Strait returns to stadiums in '23
Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town will join Strait for one-off stadium dates in Phoenix, Seattle, Denver, Milwaukee, Nashville and Tampa.
"When I walk through those curtains and see those smiling faces, my feet don't touch the ground again 'til I walk back out and get on that bus that got me there. That's from a song I wrote called 'I'll Always Remember You.' It's a true statement," Strait shared exclusively with Billboard of the announcement. "When we talked about doing these six shows next year with Chris, it was a no brainer for me. I was all in."
"I love doing these shows with George about as much as I like doing anything. There's nothing to compare it to," said Stapleton. "So many of his songs are in the ethos of what country music is. Playing these shows together is a great experience all the way around."
Tickets to all shows go on sale next Friday, Nov. 4 at 10 a.m. local time at GeorgeStrait.com. American Express Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, Nov. 3 at 10 p.m. local time.

June 3 Milwaukee, Wisc. || American Family Field
June 17 Seattle, Wash. || Lumen Field
June 24 Denver, Colo. || Empower Field at Mile High Stadium

CD reviews
There's nothing more dependable than a new George Strait album. He's been cranking them out for decades, and even after officially retiring from major touring a decade ago, Strait has continued to record and release a new album occasionally. This is his first since 2019, but it sounds exactly like almost every other one, which, in his case, isn't really a bad thing.
Strait's friendship and collaborative relationship with Chris Stapleton continues here, with Stapleton guesting ...
There was a bit of a controversy at the recent CMAs when Chris Stapleton beat out Morgan Wallen for best male vocalist, especially after Wallen had such a huge year, commercially speaking. Yes, one can make the case that Wallen is the most popular male singer in country music these days. However, when it comes to pure singing, Stapleton is arguably the genre's most naturally talented singer. He doesn't really need any more proof of that, of course, but his "Higher" album ...
Chris Stapleton's "Starting Over" release is one of those rare beauties of an album, where your favorite track may change from day to day. All of 'em are just that great. It is, simply put, Stapleton's best full-length to date.
