The album was also released in the US exclusively through Wal-Mart and Sam's Club retail stores on May 13, 2008.[1] To promote the album, Adams toured around Europe on the "11 Days, 11 Cities" acoustic tour, playing new songs and old classics.

11 Tour

In support of the release of 11, Adams started the ‘11 concerts, 11 cities’ tour, having concerts in 11 different countries in just 11 days.[2] The intimate shows at some spectacular venues will see Adams perform an acoustic set, on stage, with just his guitar and harmonica.[2] The London show was on March 11, 2008 at St. James Church in Piccadilly.[2] The last stop of his 11 days concert tour was in Copenhagen, Denmark on 17 March.[2] After the ‘11 concerts, 11 cities’ Adams went and acoustic tour where he toured with Foreigner and Rod Stewart to support his new album.[3] Zimbio asked Adams: "With the acoustic tour, which of your songs do you feel sound best acoustically?"

“ Well, they all work acoustically, because they were all written on an acoustic guitar. This album started out as an acoustic record and halfway through I sort of switched gears and decided to make sort of an acoustic rock record. When I play the songs live, it has actually sort of led me into a path of this next tour, which is my first American acoustic tour. I feel confident enough with these songs and with the songs in the past that the show is going to be quite interesting, sort of hearing these songs stripped down completely, just myself and a guitar.[3] ”
