George "King of Country" Strait this week announced that Lee Ann Womack will join his 2010 tour with Reba McEntire.

The trio will perform a Feb. 20 show at Tulsa's BOK Center. Ticketing pricing and purchasing details have not been announced. The Tulsa World and tulsaworld.com will update readers when that information becomes available.

“'Does Ft Worth Ever Cross Your Mind'? 'Whoever's In New England'? 'The Fireman'? 'Little Rock'? 'Wrapped'? 'The Last To Know'? We're talking classic country from the source,” said Womack in a press statement. “I can't imagine a better tour to be on than George Strait and Reba McEntire -- and now I'm not imagining.

“I'm trying to figure out what to wear. ... 'Cause you can't out-starch George and you sure can't out-spangle Reba.”

Womack has sold more than 6 million albums, won two Grammys and won critical acclaim for her last album, "There’s More Where That Came From."

Womack’s current album, "Call Me Crazy" garnered critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard and The New York Times.

She was nominated for “Top Female Vocalist” at this year’s ACM Awards and the debut single “Last Call” was nominated for a Grammy earlier this year in the “Best Female Country Vocal Performance” category.

"I can't wait to get back out there and perform some of my new favorites from 'Twang' along with hits the fans already love," Strait said in a message to fans via his official Web site. "And with my friend Reba, we will make it a really spectacular night."

Chockie native McEntire has sold over 55 million albums worldwide, earned 33 No. 1 Billboard singles and was recently recognized as the biggest female hit-maker in country music history by Billboard, Mediabase and Country Aircheck.

	Report Comment Elusive, Owasso (11/20/2009 2:58:00 AM) I'm with you Joyce, I'd prefer to see Clapton. I like George Strait but just not that into country.
	Report Comment TylerHall, Tulsa (11/20/2009 10:04:38 AM) It is a great honor to host King George in Tulsa... Despite the fact that he's never wrote any of his own hits (and possibly songs in general), its hard to dislike this icon.
	Report Comment DonInTulsa, (11/20/2009 10:33:10 AM) It's great to have top notch entertainment back in Tulsa. The BOK center is a crown jewel for the city. Should be a great show.
	Report Comment wildcat, Glenpool (11/20/2009 12:18:22 PM) nI would love to be there; however, George and Reba's other shows have tickets starting a almost $150. Starting at.
	Report Comment wildcat, Glenpool (11/20/2009 12:19:22 PM) oops...how about "I would love to be there."
	Report Comment SRV, (11/25/2009 11:33:11 AM) MAJOR eye candy!
