Craig Morgan launches tour

Monday, June 4, 2007 – Craig Morgan continues his tradition of launching his tours from his hometown by making several Nashville appearances this week. He is kicking off his Summer 2007 Tour Tuesday at the Grand Ole Opry. An Opry regular, Morgan has performed there more than 170 times. This Wednesday he hosts his sold-out annual fan club party in Nashville, and on Thursday Morgan performs at the CMA Music Fest before hitting the highways for the remainder of the summer, playing more than 40 shows in 27 states over 3 months.

Morgan, who was born and raised in Nashville, currently resides in Dickson, Tenn. He launched his fall 2006 Tour in Clarksville, Tenn., where he served in the Army's 101st Airborne Division.

"Tomorrow is going to be a really special night at the Opry, so there will be no better place to get our summer fun started," said Morgan. "Since it's CMA Music Fest week, there are a lot of artists in town, and I'll be there with Carrie Underwood, Sugarland, Bill Anderson, Little Jimmy Dickens, Porter Wagoner and a few other people."

"GAC is broadcasting the show live and they've asked me to be the first artist ever to do their live show opening, so I'm really looking forward to that," he said. "It's going to be a great night."

The show will be broadcast live on GAC from 9-10 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 5th and will repeat at 1 a.m. on June 6th.

Morgan is touring behind his fourth studio album, "Little Bit of Life," released last fall on Broken Bow Records. The disc is the follow-up to "My Kind of Livin'," which had the hits "That's What I Love About Sunday" and "Redneck Yacht Club."

CD review - God, Family, Country Craig Morgan clearly loves his country and his country music - he now has 20 years of recording cred.

But he's still a Grand Ole Opry member and signed with a new label in 2019. What's intriguing about this collection ...

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 ...
