Gary Allan Shares Details on New Album, ‘Ruthless’
What song are you most excited to hear?
During a Facebook livestream from the House of Blues studio in Nashville, TN on Thursday night (5/6), Gary Allan announced that he has new music on the way. The singer will release his highly-anticipated new album, Ruthless, on June 25. The 13-song project will draw from Allan’s 80’s and 90’s country influences and storytelling abilities.
“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.”
Ruthless is available for pre-order now. Fans who pre-order will get an instant download of the album opener “Temptation.” Allan also has a selection of new merch options including t-shirts, hats, vinyls and more on his website ruthless.garyallan.com.
