Rogers starts final tour in May

Wednesday, April 13, 2016 – After more than five decades of touring and entertaining the world, Kenny Rogers will begin his final world tour in May in Minnesota, a tour slated to run into 2017.

Rogers announced late last year on NBC's The Today Show that this upcoming tour would be his last. "The Gambler's Last Deal" will include special guest Linda Davis for all dates, along with Charlie Worsham for select dates in Europe.

Davis had a number one song, "Does He Love You" with Reba McEntire. Worsham, who toured in Europe earlier this year, is currently in the studio working on the follow up to his debut, "Rubberband."

"I'm excited about making one more sweep around the world," Rogers said. "For more than five decades, I've been fortunate enough to have such wonderful, loyal audiences and their support has meant so much. This final tour is going to be a celebration of all of my music, and I know each night will be truly special."

"The Gambler's Last Deal" concerts will include a look back through Rogers' career. Enhanced with stories, photos and video clips, the retrospective will touch on every part of Rogers' career. Rogers plans to sing songs he hasn't performed in years.

He sings, with the help of old friend Dolly Parton, on this album's title track about how you can't make old friends. And disarmingly honest lines like, "Who's going to tell me the truth?" raise this song above being just another music buddy number. The only trouble with having Parton sing a ...
CD review - The Love of God There seems to be a theme among country superstars. They work their way onto the scene, burn bright, hopefully keeping the flame alive for some time. Then as their career ebbs and flows and the hits stop coming as steadily as they used to, they find themselves sitting in a studio recording a gospel record. Granted, country and gospel have always been fine bedfellows, but it just seems to be a trend that signifies that one is nearing the end of their career. "The Gambler" himself, Kenny ...
CD review - Water and Bridges Kenny Rogers' first studio album in three years finds his gifts undiminished, with his voice resounding distinctively atop Dann Huff's country-tinged adult contemporary productions. The material sticks to the sort of contemplative mid-tempo numbers on which Rogers excels, and though the opening single (the power ballad "I Can't Unlove You") is lyrically pedestrian, there are songwriting riches to be found throughout. Walt Wilkins and Davis Raines' "Someone Somewhere Tonight" hits a high point ...
