Alan Jackson just wrapped the spring run of his 25th Anniversary Keepin\u2019 It Country Tour<\/em> to a capacity crowd at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver (Morrison), CO. Sponsored by Kubota Tractor Corporation, the tour made stops to massive critically-acclaimed reviews and sold out crowds in Los Angeles, Nashville, Kansas City, Green Bay, the tour\u2019s kickoff in Fort Myers, FL and the famed Houston Rodeo among others.\u00a0 Jon Pardi and\u00a0 Brandy Clark joined Jackson on this first leg of the tour.<\/p>\n

Throughout the tour, Jackson received rave reviews from fans and critics alike:<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a few chords and a deft phrase or two, Jackson can do in three minutes what some artists never accomplish in entire careers.\u201d \u2013 Ft.

\u201cJackson\u2019s tour, which stopped Friday night for a sold-out concert at the Nokia Theatre, might be an assurance that he won\u2019t be next to disappear.\u201d \u2013 Los Angeles Times\u00a0<\/em>\u201cFrom the moment he sauntered onto the stage and began singing \u201cGone Country,\u201d the audience was his to command.\u201d \u2013 San Diego Union Tribune\u00a0<\/em>\u201cAn artist who knows how to get you with a hook (\u2018Livin\u2019 on Love,\u2019 \u2018Drive\u2019), Jackson\u2019s music is unapologetically grounded in honky tonk. Pure country in its purest form \u2026\u201d \u2013Green Bay Press Gazette<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cJackson already has, as he admitted onstage, more hits than can fit in a two-hour concert, but if country music is lucky enough to get another 25 years of music from the singer, to quote one of his own songs, \u2018that\u2019d be all right.\u2019\u201d \u2013 Tennessean<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
