After posting one of the highest-grossing concert tours of 2006, Nashville couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill plan to head back out on the road this summer.

The husband and wife country stars expect to launch their "Soul2Soul 2007" tour in June and wrap up in August. Details like dates and venues have not been decided, their publicist said on Monday.

McGraw already is set to release his next album, "Let It Go," in March, featuring a pair of duets with his wife.

The couple ranked as the highest-grossing country music act on tour in 2006, raking in nearly $89 million from 73 shows. Theirs was also the No. 3 North American tour overall, behind the Rolling Stones at No. 1 with $138.5 in ticket sales and second-place Barbra Streisand with $92.5 million.

According to concert trade publication Pollstar, the McGraw-Hill concerts last year now rank as the 12th highest-grossing U.S. music tour of all time.
