Like most artists on a farewell tour, neo-traditionalist country singer Alan Jackson has been saying adios for a while. He began his "Last Call: One More For The Road" trek in 2022, a year after revealing he'd been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a genetic condition that can damage nerves in a person's hands and feet.
Jackson, 66, has walked gingerly across concert stages in recent years. But the good news is his one-of-a-kind baritone sounds almost as velvety today as it did in 1989, when he was country's hot new "hat act."

Expect to hear plenty of big hits, like his rockin' show-starter "Gone Country" and "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," his duet with the late Jimmy Buffett. It'll be interesting to see if the Georgia-raised singer dusts off the rarely played "Dallas," a 1991 tune with a curious local pedigree: Despite the lyric "how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee," Jackson actually got the idea for the song after a triumphant Fort Worth gig at Billy Bob's Texas.
