Black Label Society's 2009 North American "Black Label Bash Tour" will be the heavy rock band's first headlining jaunt since they played shows last fall in support of Shot To Hell.

BLS will release a new album in 2009, while main man Zakk Wylde and Gretchen Wilson will record a cover of Stevie Nicks and Don Henley’s "Leather And Lace" for a country music compilation.

Wylde has been known to cry while playing "In This River," a song dedicated to friend Dimebag Darrell (who was shot and killed on stage four years ago on Monday), which he says he'll play during every show on the tour. Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist has probably shed a few tears after ingesting some of his hot sauce, too.
