Smoke Rings in the Dark album Product Description
With his excellent third album, SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK, Gary Allan found his artistic voice, one filled with torch and twang. Allan's always been true to the traditional country sounds of Buck and Merle, but SMOKE RINGS finds him channeling Roy Orbison too, as well as the atmospheric feel of Chris Isaak's early records. The production on the CD is just outstanding, whether it's the barroom piano on "Cowboy Blues," the gorgeous strings on "Cryin' for Nothing" or the low, twangy guitar that permeates nearly every song, especially the moody title track. And Allan's voice has never sounded better--it's right up front, gritty and packed with emotion. There's not a bad track on the CD, but some standouts include "Sorry," (which sounds like the best song the Stray Cats never recorded), the melodic "Right Where I Need to Be," and the intense "Lovin' You Against My Will." In addition, Allan makes the harder country songs, like "I'm the One," sound so authentic that you'll be checking the CD booklet to make sure they really weren't written in the '50s. ...See Full Description

| A MUSIC LEGEND IN THE MAKING! FROM "LEARNING TO LIVE WITH ME" TO "RUNAWAY", HE SHOWS HIS IMPRESSIVE RANGE HERE! REALLY, NOT A WEAK SONG ON THIS CD. THIS GUY IS A MUSIC LEGEND IN THE MAKING & THIS DISC WILL CONVINCE YOU OF THAT! By ROGER (WEST VIRGINIA) |
| One of the best CDs ever! Gary Allan is the king. Every one of his songs on this CD is strong, and they are all unique. Like always, Allan successfully keeps the pop sound out of his songs and puts out amazing country songs. Smoke Rings in the Dark was the best song to come out in 2000-2001. With this CD, Allan has established his own identity as a music artist and has successfully placed himself at the top of the list of country artists. I hope Allan continues to make music for many years to come. By Nate (St. Paul, MN) |
| Graceful voice His voice is so calming and so beautiful. When I first heard his songs I was totally amazed. His voice is unique, and definately graceful! By lisarenay_23 (prattsburgh, ny) |
