Gary Allan Opens Up To Country Weekly

Gary Allan in Country Weekly shares details about the tragedy he dealt with and how his music helped him get through it. Gary feels that by taking time and not talking to the media did him“… a lot of good”. Instead, Gary used music to help him recover from his loss. 2005’s “Tough All Over” and Gary’s new album “Living Hard”, both share past memories of his tragedy but also illustrate a bright future. Gary feels it was necessary because country music is about real life and confronting what he experienced. To read more about his experience and his new album check out Country Weekly.
