Morgan prepares 11th tour for troops

Tuesday, April 8, 2014 – Craig Morgan is preparing to make his 11th overseas tour to entertain U.S. troops serving abroad.

The former soldier will travel with Armed Forces Entertainment and Stars For Stripes to perform a series of acoustic shows in Southwest Asia this spring.

"As a former soldier myself, it is so important to me to have another opportunity to support our troops and do whatever I can to help keep morale high," said Morgan. "I always jump at the chance to get over there and do my part."

In 2003, Morgan made his first overseas visit to entertain our U.S. troops. Morgan also has offered support to spouses and dependents remaining stateside through Folds of Honor and Jack Daniel's Toast To The Troops. Morgan is a recipient of the 2006 USO Merit Award and earlier this year received the Humanitarian of the Year designation at the 2013 Golden Moose Awards. Morgan will also appear on "ACM Presents: An All-Star Salute To The Troops," airing Tuesday, May 20 on CBS.

The Black River recording artist is on the charts with "Wake Up Lovin' You." Written by Josh Osborne, Matt Ramsey and Trevor Rosen is featured on Morgan's recently released album "The Journey (Livin' Hits)."

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 ...
