Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard fill in itinerary blanks

With the addition of a handful of dates to their just-launched spring tour, Bob Dylan and Merle Haggard have now solidified their entire schedule.

Dylan, Haggard and newcomer Amos Lee are still scheduled to wrap up their tour with a series of late-April shows in New York City, but new stops have been added in Detroit and Buffalo, among other cities. Details are in the itinerary below.

Folk-rock legend Dylan has been playing piano rather than guitar during his recent shows, and reviewers have noted that he and his band have re-worked some songs to focus on country twang. Tourmate Haggard, long recognized as one of country music's best songwriters, is backed on the tour by his longtime band The Strangers.

Last October, Dylan--who celebrates his 64th birthday on May 24--issued "Chronicles: Volume 1," the first in a planned series of his personal histories. The memoir is among the finalists vying for the 2004 prize in the National Book Critics Circle Awards' Biography/Autobiography category. Winners will be announced in March.

Haggard--who will celebrate his 68th birthday during the tour's April 6 stop in Chicago--released his latest album, "Unforgettable," in December.

Lee, who is 27 years old, dropped his self-titled debut earlier this month.
