Gary Allan has no doubt made his mark on the country music industry. Hit songs like “Songs About Rain,” “Right Where I Need To Be,” “Watchin’ Airplanes,” and many more have made him a favorite amongst the modern country music fans. With his latest offering Get Off On The Pain, he continues to showcase all the elements that got him here as is evident with lead single “Today.” From the album opener and title track, “Get Off On The Pain,” you are met with his rock edge as he sings about his bad choices in love with all the wrong girls. This same rock edge is present throughout the album as he gets you moving right along with him on songs like “That Ain’t Gonna Fly,” which leans heavy on a shredding guitar riff to deliver the song. However, Allan also has been known for delivering a powerful and moving ballad and there is a good amount of those on here as well.

“Anytime something starts to feel like a popularity contest or not about the music, I’d rather just not be involved,” Gary tells GAC. “I’m not a big high-fiver. That really gets to people around me when we have a No. 1 or something big happen. I’m not a big, ‘Let’s go have a party about it!’ I’m always like, ‘What’s next?’ That’s just the way my mind works. I’m a musician and play my songs. That’s all I need to do. If everybody else wants to go do the posters and the contests, I’m not coming. I’ll be my own poster.”
