Hawksley Workman Releasing Two Albums, Touring In 2010

Hawksley Workman will spend March and April touring Canada in support of two new albums dubbed Meat and Milk. (Keeping it kosher these days?)

Meat will be released Jan. 19, while Workman's website says Milk will come out later (presumably much more than six hours after Meat, which should please the Orthodox) through "a non-traditional digital strategy" that will see him release singles from the disc over five months. No tracklisting for either album has been revealed yet.

Workman's cross-Canada jaunt kicks off March 6 in Courtnay, B.C. and runs through April 24 in Toronto. Tickets will be available in a presale that starts Tuesday (Nov. 17) and ends Thursday (Nov. 19) through Six Shooter Records' website. Thereafter, tickets will be available through Ticketmaster on Friday (Nov. 20).

Workman's 1999 For Him And The Girls debut album will also be released in the United States for the first time on Tuesday (Nov. 17).
