Put country before the party, as well as during and after the party, on a pair of western music-themed odysseys. The raucous Outlaw Country Cruise has already filled every stateroom of its fourth tour. It’s a testament to how much fun folks have at the tattoo shop, whiskey and beer tastings, movie screenings (Westerns, duh!) in the theater, songwriting workshops, Mojo Nixon’s annual belly flop competition, and, of course, concerts. Next year’s lineup includes Lucinda Williams, Drive-By Truckers, John Doe, Steve Earle, and many more Americana acts. Prefer classic cuts? Your Country Music Cruise ship will come into Fort Lauderdale next January, swing by the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Bahamas, and feature music by The Oak Ridge Boys, Patty Loveless, Ronnie Milsap, Ricky Skaggs, and Shenandoah. There will also be cooking demonstrations, line dancing lessons, and a special edition of the Grand Ole Opry.
