My heart still goes out to him for the loss of his wife, but out of that deep sadness comes his absolute b Best full album in a long long time (5 stars) This is a great album, and the first one in a really long time that you can just put in and listen to from start to finish. Every song is captivating and honest. I love every second of it. BiographyBorn: December 05, 1967 in La Mirada, CAGenre: Country Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s Gary Allan hit the honky tonk circuit in his native Southern California at the seasoned age of 12. Playing in and out of the smoky, sweaty bars with his dad's band led Allan to follow in his father's footsteps and start his own band. When Allan returned to those same honky tonks with his own combo, the sound was true Bakersfield country: Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and the rest.
