Gary Allan Biography
Gary Allan hit the honky tonk circuit in his native Southern
California at the seasoned age of 12. Playing in and out of the smoky,
sweaty bars with his dad's band led Allan to follow in his father's
footsteps and start his own band. When Allan returned to those same
honky tonks with his own combo, the sound was true Bakersfield country:
Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and the rest. Allan spent most of his
twenties honing his skills as a new traditionalist country singer;
finally, in 1996, he was picked up by the Decca label. Used Heart for
Sale appeared that year, and even if it was a bit timid, the album
established Allan as a talented performer with plenty of potential. Two
years later, he returned with It Would Be You. This time out, Allan
suffered from slick Nashville production, which winnowed away most of
his whiskey-soaked barroom charm. Nevertheless, Allan's talent shone
through. In 1999, Decca closed its doors. However, Allan's contract was
picked up by MCA, which released his Smoke Rings in the Dark later that
year. The album combined most of what Allan did best -- dusty honky
tonk, cracked country ballads -- into a solid effort that didn't get
too heavy with the Music City sheen. The album even included a rousing
cover of the Del Shannon classic Runaway that harked back to Allan's
younger days on the honky tonk circuit. With 2001's Alright Guy, an
accomplished mix of driving, dusty swagger and slow-burn croon, Allan
proved that he was only getting better with age. Its single, Man to
Man, became the singer's first number one hit. Allan toured
extensively in support of Alright Guy before beginning work on a
follow-up album, and when See If I Care appeared in September 2003, it
was another solid set of Bakersfield-derived country and poignant
balladry. Tough All Over, a Top Ten hit, arrived in 2005. ~ Johnny
