Tough All Over album Product Description
Tough All Over album by Gary Allan was released Oct 11, 2005 on the MCA Nashville label. In following up his exceptionally strong 2003 release, SEE IF I CARE, country singer Gary Allan opted to stick to his New Traditionalist guns, resulting in another compelling set of songs. TOUGH ALL OVER opens boldly with the rock-tinged title track (penned in part by Jim Lauderdale), and proceeds to mix sensitive ballads ("Best I Ever Had" and "Life Ain't Always Beautiful") with twangy mid-tempo tunes ("I Just Got Back from Hell"). The standout song, however, is "Nickajack Cave (Johnny Cash's Redemption)," an intriguing narrative about the Man in Black's darkest days that hints at Cash's signature sound without attempting to duplicate it. Recording information: House Of Gain, Nashville, TN; Sound Kitchen, Nashville, TN. Photographer: Tony Baker & His Orchestra. Personnel: Gary Allan (vocals); Kenny Greenberg (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Hank Singer (fiddle); The Nashville String Machine (strings); Kirk "Jelly Roll" Johnson (harmonica); Steve Nathan (piano, Hammond b-3 organ, synthesizer); Michael Rhodes (bass instrument); John Wesley Ryles, Wes Hightower, Russell Terrell, Perry Coleman (background vocals); Jake Kelly, John Willis (acoustic guitar); Brent Rowan (electric guitar); Chad Cromwell (drums); Eric Darken (percussion). ...See Full Description

| Another Great Offering From Gary Allan On Gary's sixth release, stand out tracks include the dance-oriented "Ring", a classic story song "Nickajack Cave", the stunning "Life Ain't Always Beautiful (lovely Bruce Hornsby-flavored piano intro), the dark and eerie "He Can't Quit Her" (love the voice distortion at the end of the song), and the blues-flavored "Putting My Misery On Display". Each track is different from the next (almost unheard of these days) and each song focuses on the guitar in a slightly different style. Grade: A. By brian.thompson (New York, NY, USA)  |
| Best Ever This is such an incredible CD, I love it and listen to it everyday. This is his best ever and I love him. By salleytrendsetinc.com (Greenville, SC , USA) |
| Tough All Over..Indeed. Gary Allan's "Tough All Over" is an excellent buy for country fans. If you've never heard Gary before, you need to hear this CD. Its his best yet. My favorite song is the whole CD. It is that good. The first day I bought it, I listened to the CD, in full, 5 times in a row. Gary has a very unique voice and way of singing/carrying a song. He is a true artist of his craft. By gretzky13 (Washington, PA, USA) |
