Gary Allan – Get Off On The Pain

Get Off On The Pain
By: Gary Allan

Release Date: March 9, 2010

Looking back on Gary Allan career, it’s easy to remember the days when Allan’s approach was a little more traditional. Today, and eight albums later, Allan hits the shelves with “Get Off On The Pain”, a collection that continues his growth into the country-rocker style. While Allan can be considered a pioneer in this less twang, more rock style, he’s not the alone soldier anymore. With his success, Nashville has a lot more patience for artists that resemble Allan style.
