After two close-but-no-cigar efforts for the now-defunct Decca label, Smoke Rings in the Dark marks Gary Allan's emergence as a major talent. The album was coproduced by MCA Nashville honchos Tony Brown and Mark Wright, who between them have been responsible for dozens of No. 1 country hits in the '90s. Thanks to shrewd song selections, Allan's sound bridges the gap between the contemporary Nashville mainstream and West Coast alt-country with style and integrity. With its haunting Roy Orbison-style refrain, the title track is among the most immediately memorable singles to penetrate country playlists in 1999. The ballads "Bourbon Borderline" and "Greenfields" recall labelmate Mark Chesnutt, whose traditionalist leanings Allan clearly shares. At the same time, he's not averse to slinking and strutting through the zoot-suit swinger "Sorry" and howling a faithful cover of Del Shannon's "Runaway." Smoke Rings should make Allan a bona fide star; it's already established him as a bona fide artist. --Rick Mitchell

5 out of 5 stars This is a fantastic CD.......2006-11-25

I was recently introduced to Gary Allen's music, and this is one of my favorite CDs. I find myself listening to it over and over. Gary Allen has such a great voice, and his band is excellent, too. I don't know why country stations in my area don't play his songs more often. He's a better singer than some of the more famous country celebrities out there. When I'm driving in my car, I find myself turning off the radio and listening to this CD instead.

I am excited for purchasing this cd because it is better than I expected.I bought it for just one song but I found out that I like all the songs as well.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Best.......2006-02-05

Smoke Rings in the Dark is one of the best albums I own. I love every song on it. I saw Gary Allan in concert when he was touring this album... he sings like his album. A very talented artist.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best country albums of the past decade.......2006-01-23

With "Smoke Rings in the Dark", Gary Allan achieved one of the rarest feats in music--the recording of a great disc that gets better with age. As with some of the very best, regardless of genre, this is an album that one can put on, press the "replay" button, and listen for hours. Allan's soulful voice and the true-to-the-song arrangements combine to make for the sort of moaning honky-tonk music that is simply so good it seems like it's been there forever. If you are at all a fan of country music, and especially of the Bakersfield sound, you must get this album.

                Album Description

                One of Liverpool's favorite song writing sons returns this Spring with an EP of new recordings in the style of his debut solo album Tales Told (released last October). Following the disbanding of the Lightning Seeds, Ian's new material sees him stripping away all of the pop sensibilities which characterized himself and the band throughout the Britpop era, and getting back to a more honest, natural and inevitably more beautiful form of song writing. Tales Told was released in the Autumn of last year to a shower of critical acclaim, and the new Smoke Rings EP picks up where the album left off. The EP features the title track lifted from the album along with Broudie's inimitable re-workings of Denis Wilson's 'A Time To Live In Dreams', The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band's 'Shifting Sands', and a new Broudie composition 'Spinout'. Ian Broudie has produced Mercury Award nominated albums for The Coral and The Zutons for which members of both bands returned the favor by contributing to Tales Told. He has also produced Echo & The Bunnymen's finest albums (Crocodiles and Porcupine), Terry Hall, The Fall, Dodgy, and The Subways amongst many others. Sony. 2005.
