Seger isn't venturing far from his Michigan home on these early tour dates. The first two are in Saginaw, Michigan and right over the state border in Toledo, Ohio. Last week a source close to the Seger camp told Rolling Stone that 20 to 30 dates are planned for the Spring, with another leg of the tour expected to follow next fall. In between the tours Seger hopes to complete work on his 17th studio album, a follow-up to 2006s Face The Promise.

“(We're Not) The Jet Set”

George Jones and Tammy Wynette | 1973

George Jones and Tammy Wynette were still married when they recorded the tongue-in-cheek "(We're Not) The Jet Set." The lyrics, written by Nashville songwriter Bobby Braddock, who also penned Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," make fun of the good life by declaring, "We're not the Jet Set/We're the old Chevrolet set." Braddock recalled that while writing the song, he needed the name of a city that evened out the rhyme he had with "Riviera" and "Missourah." “I got out a Rand McNally atlas," he said. "In the first part are the maps. The last part is an alphabetical listing of cities. I wanted a rustic, small-time sound. I went to the listing for Missouri. And I found 'Festus.' I loved the sound of it."
