Guide Review
Gary Allan - Smoke Rings in the Dark
With each CD Gary Allan has made, to this point, he gets better. I doubt that he will be able to top this masterpiece. What is evident is that Gary will constantly be striving to meet the standard that he has set with this CD.

From the opening title track to the touching closing song, "Greenfields," Smoke Rings In The Dark is a great collection of songs that you will find in your CD rotation constantly. Some of the highlights include the fifties pop sound of "Sorry," the masterful remake of the 60's classic, "Runaway" and " the honest "Lovin' You Against My Will."

If you are looking for a great CD that is a must for even the newest of country music fans, then you must pick up Smoke Rings in the Dark by Gary Allan.
