Gary Allan's voice continues to be among the most distinctive to have risen from the Nashville country scene within the past six years or so, and on these two platinum albums, he has fine tuned his unique mix of West Coast honky-tonk, hard-edged country and soulful rock into a seamless whole. Gary Allan takes the best elements of country’s rich past and reaffirms it for today and the future in the same way that past masters Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Buck Owens did. Gary Allan is very original, very hip and very cool. He's a sturdy traditionalist who’s not afraid to embrace the future, a man who unabashedly mixes country with rock.
