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); Nashville String Machine (strings); 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).

Rolling Stone (No. 988, p.126) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...[C]hillingly authentic...."
Entertainment Weekly (No. 845, p.75) - "...TOUGH is a bold album of soul-piercing beauty." - Grade: A

5 stars 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.

5 stars 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.

5 stars Pure Greatness!!!
If you have never imagined yourself listening to country, that is because you have not heard Gary Allan. This guy is amazing. If there is a rebel in country music today this is it. Through dealing with the suicide of his wife Gary has made the most personal and artistic cd in contempary country ever! Buy this and support the best country artist since the hag, and the last rebel in nashville!

Tough All Over album
CD $11.79  4.8 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. On his first couple of albums for Decca, Gary Allan's talent was somewhat submerged in assembly-line Nashville production. After a label change, his third disc, 1999's SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK found him fulfilling his potential with a rootsy, accessible New Traditionalist sound. A few years down the line, he continues to progress, bucking the Nashville Nazis along the way. The album opener "Drinkin' Dark Whiskey," co-written by hard-country rebel Mike Henderson, ...
