Passing on it due to inexperience, he later began to sell cars until a kind-hearted woman heard a demo tape and paid his way to Nashville. Such recognizable hits songs as "Her Man," "It Would Be You," and "Smoke Rings in The Dark," all lead up to his latest album, "Alright Guy." | |||||
1.) Alright Guy - Gary Allan
Gary Allan gets better with each album that he releases. "Alright Guy" runs the gamut from songs about heartbreak and love ("The One") to songs about getting drunk, ripping his pants, and dancing with the bouncer that asked him to leave ("I'm Doing My Best"). He is doing his part to keep male country music alive and doing a mighty fine job too.
