Strait, who recently renewed his record deal with MCA
Records during a celebration at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center,
will continue to record new music and play select dates around the country
following the completion of the tour. The Cowboy Rides Away Tour will offer
fans a final opportunity to see Strait’s live show filled with hits from
throughout his remarkable career, including many of his 60 No. 1 hits (more
than any other artist in any genre).
Additionally, Strait will receive Billboard’sLegend of Live
Award in November in a ceremony in New
York City. This is the magazine’s most coveted touring
award, and he is the first country music artist to achieve this honor.
