Just when it seemed safe to relax in a bath full of Jay Reatard's singles, awaiting the Memphis maverick's next compilation of them, Jay has revealed a ton of tour dates.

After a pair of September shows, his latest journey begins October 11 in Columbia, Missouri. From there, Jay and his band will wind their way through the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Ireland before the end of November. Even more dates have yet to be announced.

Matador will release Jay Reatard's Matador Singles '08 on October 7 (October 6 in the UK).
