Gary Allan is featured in Blender’s “Greatest of 2005” roundup in the magazine’s January/Febuary 2006 issue. Gary’s new album Tough All Over is included in the 50 Greatest CD’s of 2005. Gary’s hit single “Best I Ever Had” was selected as one of the 100 Greatest Songs of the Year.
Tough All Over debuted at Number One on the Billboard Country Album Chart in October 2005.
This album is a very personal one for Allan. It showcases not only his rich and unique voice, but his heart and soul as well. An album review in Entertainment Weekly summed it up by saying “the music of California honky-tonker Allan has always set itself apart with a dark, dreamy vibe and an edge of hypnotic danger. Tough is a bold album of soul-piercing beauty.” The New York Times calls the album “elegant” and “dazzling,” while in USA Today the album was described as “sometimes chilling, always heartbreaking – achingly beautiful.”
Allan is a gifted singer who’s enjoyed back to back number one hits at radio and critical acclaim. He’s an intoxicating entertainer who breaks attendance records at venues across the country while performing to sold-out crowds night after night. Above all, he is a man who has poured his heart into a collection of songs on Tough All Over, the album Country Weekly calls “one of the bravest and most stunningly intimate mainstream country albums ever made.”
