Gary Allan

Gary Allan strikes me as country music's reliable maverick. Signed to Decca in 1996, he came out swinging with the gold-certified Used Heart for Sale, and he has spent the decades since refusing to chase whatever Nashville trend happened to be fashionable. Coming out of La Mirada, California, he carries a drier, grittier West Coast edge than the polished mainstream, and that texture is exactly what I value in his voice. He's the kind of artist who simply keeps making the records he believes in, and that quiet integrity is why his catalog ages so well.
