George Strait and Martina McBride Perform at the XL Center in Hartford on Feb. 23

Two years is a long time to stretch out your final tour. But hey, it must mean country legend George Strait (pictured), who'll be at the XL Center in Hartford with Martina McBride on Feb. 23, is still having fun. His Cowboy Rides Away Tour is a slow fade into the sunset for the 60-year-old icon, who's managed to rack up 59 number 1 country hits during his long career. And rest assured, McBride's no slouch either (18 million albums sold, six chart-topping country singles, and stats that say she's the most-played female country artist of the past decade). If country's your thing, you know where you want to be Saturday night.
