Gary Allan

Gary Allan and Blake Shelton battled for most of the one-month voting period, but in the end, fans of the California-raised country singer would not be denied. Allan's 'Set You Free' was named the Best Album of the Year at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards.

2013 was a great year for country albums! Women may not have dominated the charts, but they produced some of the best LPs of the year. Ashley Monroe, Kacey Musgraves and Kellie Pickler all recorded projects that made our list of the Top 10 of 2013. Now, it’s time for fans to decide who their choice for No. 1 is.

The micro-version of how Gary Allan got to Nashville is well-known, especially among his loyal fans. The 'It Ain't the Whiskey' singer recently sat down to record his episode of Guitar Center Sessions, where he shared all of the details, including the song his benefactor heard before writing him a check for $12,000. Watch him tell the story in this video, premiering on Taste of Country.

Gary Allan's powerful new song 'It Ain't the Whiskey' has stormed through its first two rounds of Showdown competition, but today's challenger might be a more imposing obstacle. Earlier this week, Allan's track took 86 percent of the vote in a win over Chris Stapleton's 'It Ain't the Whiskey.' That sets up a matchup with George Strait.

What seemed like the next round of artist vs. artist criticisms was misconstrued and taken out of context, according to one of the parties involved. Gary Allan says his answer to Larry King's question about whether or not Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift are country has been spun in a way he didn't intend.

Gary Allan is on the mend after quietly undergoing knee surgery on Monday (July 22). The 'Pieces' singer had the procedure to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

This just in: Gary Allan and Sheryl Crow are teaming up to co-headline the 2013 Free and Easy Tour this fall!

Pieces of Gary Allan's heart and soul fly around like swirls of confetti in his new 'Pieces' video. Those pieces are made up of photos, which feature memories and good times in his life.

On Wednesday, 'Pieces' by Gary Allan cruised to another Showdown victory. Allan's fans were too much for James Wesley's supporters to take down in this daily song battle, so today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio the singer will go for a fourth straight win. His penultimate match before achieving Showdown immortality will be against another country newcomer in Joel Crouse.

If Gary Allan's chart-topper 'Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)' was optimistic, his follow-up single 'Pieces' is downright plucky. The uptempo country-rocker may be the most contented single he's ever released.
