Country's Gary Allan in TJ's Outdoor Events Center

Description

Gary Allan registered four #1 singles- "Man to Man," "Tough Little Boys," "Nothing On But The Radio" and "Watching Airplanes"- in addition to trademark hits such as the lonely "Best I Ever Had," "Every Storm Runs Otta Rain," and the swaggering "Right Where I Need To Be,". Allan's amassed seven gold albums in the process- three of them certified platinum, as well- and maintained the admiration of critics for his unwavering uniqueness. Gary Allan's new single "Hangover Tonight" is impacting radio stations across the nation. The clever and catchy tune is perfectly suited to Allan's smoldering vocals and sexy swagger, which is enhanced when Chris Stapelton's raw and powerful backround vocals are added into the mix. His album, Set You Free, is at once familiar and enlightening. Fans who have followed Allan throughout his 17 year career will recognize the dark crevasses om the project- the gnarled anger of "Bones," the honest self examination of examination of "It Ain't Whiskey," the sinister self abuse of "Sand In My Soul." The album's lyrical journey from darkness to light refelects much of what went on behind it - the progression of Allan's own life as an adult, the restoration of his voice, the renewed energy from working with new songwriting partners and the challenge of producing his own tracks and playing his own lead guitar. All of those changes have given him a new sense of freedom.
