Doors open at 6:00pm

Clear the way fellas 'cause country superstar ALAN JACKSON'S FREIGHT TRAIN TOUR is comin' down the tracks, kicking off on April 8th at Germain Arena in Ft. Meyers, FL, and continuing for two months and 15 cities until pulling in the station at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY, on May 23. On board for one of the year's most exciting packages of country music are Josh Turner and Chris Young, stars in their own right, making this show a great opportunity for fans.

ALAN JACKSON'S FREIGHT TRAIN TOUR comes right on the heels of the release of his March 30th album FREIGHT TRAIN, which includes eight Jackson original songs plus four more, including "It's Just That Way," the first single, and a duet with Lee Ann Womack on the Vern Gosdin classic, "Till the End."

When asked about the title track Jackson said, "It sounded different and just kind of stuck out. I guess when you really think about it, man, we've been rolling along here for a lot of years, just going like a freight train."

Alan Jackson is one of the most successful and respected songwriter/performers in music. His career has spanned 20 years, netted 50 million album sales and met with consistent critical acclaim. Jackson's most recent collection, Good Time, became the fourth album of his career to debut simultaneously at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums and all-genre Billboard 200 sales charts and netted three #1 hits.
