Editor's note

Gary Allan, the California-born Nashville songwriter

A country singer who grew up on Waylon and Merle, then made his own records for decades.

For a quick sense of his thing, try 'Bones' or 'It Took Us All Night Long To Say Goodbye.' They're both pretty direct.

He's one of those guys who just kept putting out albums, from 'Used Heart for Sale' in 1992 to 'Set You Free' in 2013. Songs like 'Bones' and 'Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)' have a plainspoken, lived-in feel that connects. He built a catalog that feels like a steady presence, not a flash in the pan.

He moved to Nashville after high school and landed his first album on Decca in 1992. The records kept coming through the 2000s, with 'Alright Guy' in 2004 and 'Tough All Over' in 2006.
