It is scheduled for release on Friday, December 4, 2026.

It also includes both George Strait duets.
The album will be available through major music retailers and streaming services.

Why Alan Jackson Decided to End His Touring Career
Jackson’s farewell followed several years of health challenges.
In 2021, he publicly revealed that he had been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
The inherited neurological condition affects peripheral nerves and can cause muscle weakness, balance difficulties, and changes in sensation.
Jackson has spoken publicly about how the condition affected his ability to perform.
Despite those challenges, he continued touring for several years.
His Last Call: One More for the Road farewell tour gave fans across the country opportunities to see him perform.
The regular touring schedule concluded in May 2025.
However, Jackson planned one final major concert in Nashville for June 2026.
The city held special meaning because it was where he established his professional music career.
His decision to retire from touring does not necessarily mean he has stopped making music.
Jackson has continued recording, and his farewell concert represents the end of regular full-length live performances rather than a confirmed retirement from all musical activity.
