Gary Allan has announced his long-awaited new album, Ruthless, available for pre-order ahead of its release on June 25th.
Country star Gary Allan has announced that his new album, Ruthless will be available on June 25th – pre-order is available here.The California native marks his return with a stunning 13 track album produced by Mark Wright, Tony Brown, Greg Droman, Jay Joyce, and Allan himself. The songwriting shines – a body of work that is fresh and engaging, coupled with phenomenal instrumentation that adds a layer of complexity and appeal, drawing from Allan’s deep-rooted influences of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Allan’s unique storytelling masterfully ties the project together into his new project.
“This is a montage of everything I have done since my last album,” Allan says of Ruthless. “It’s what I love. I remain influenced by the ‘90s — as well as by the ‘80s. Twenty-six tracks were cut for this album. Then I went back to the studio and recorded three or four more tracks. Then I returned for two more. From each of these many sessions, I stripped out the cool stuff that I wanted on the record.”
Allan announced Ruthless yesterday during a special live stream appearance from House of Blues Studios in Nashville, exclusively on his Facebook and YouTube pages. During the live stream, Allan gave his fans a first listen to his new music including the smoldering lead track, “Temptation,” released today. Allan dropped a brand new merch collection that can be purchased with the album pre-order here.
