Title: This album is going to shock some people....
Product review: Gary Allan struck big with "Smoke Rings in the Dark." It was a very tasteful album with a retro, California-sounding country feel to it. In "Alright Guy," Gary sticks with his retro, California country sound, but performs songs with lyrics that will shock most country fans. After listening to the title track, "Alright Guy," I had to pick my jaw up off the ground. The lyrics are almost like those that would be heard in alternative music. This is a very bold step for Gary by using lyrics that are normally taboo in country music. The album is definitely new and innovative for country music. I would recommend this album to anybody wanting hear something new and different. Best songs on the album are definitely the first single "Man of Me," the emotional ballad "The One," and the somewhat sacreligious "What Would Willie Do" where he hints that Willie Nelson is a Christ-like figure. This album is definitely in-your-face edgy country music.
