Not alone, Craig Morgan plays for U.S. troops

Tuesday, January 18, 2011 – Craig Morgan will make his ninth visit to entertain U.S. troops stationed overseas as part of the Stars For Stripes tour. Morgan will embark on the "Not Alone" tour, performing for service members stationed in Iraq and Kuwait, from Jan. 27 through Feb. 3 with his full band.

"In addition to showing our support for the service men and women deployed, I find a growing sense of pride in the good our country does while on these visits," said Morgan. "We are not just fighting a war and helping people gain democracy and human rights in their own country, but our military is over there building hospitals and schools...modern structures and plumbing that didn't exist before 9/11."

In 2003 Morgan made his first overseas visit to entertain U.S. troops.

Morgan will do five concerts at different locations and special acoustic sets at various remote FOBs (Forward Operating Base) for troops who seldom receive celebrity entertainment.

Morgan is offering support to returning troops as a spokesperson for Not Alone, an organization that empowers and assists soldiers and their families who are dealing with the after-effects of combat as they transition back to life at home. Morgan wrote the song Not Alone in support of the organization, and it will also be included on his upcoming sixth studio album.

For his first album of original material in four years as and his second for Black River, he makes it abundantly clear in the liner notes that he is a devout Christian and the tone of the album reflects ...
CD review - This Ole Boy Craig Morgan likes to keep things simple. Once dubbed "country music's champion of the Everyman" he is best known best known for songs that espouse the core values of the genre: Faith ( That's What I Love About Sunday), good times, ( Redneck Yacht Club) and helping others ( Almost Home ). We get much of the same on "This Ole Boy," his first new music in three years and debut with Black River Entertainment. Disappointingly, the patriotism, religion and love ...
