Gary Allan to release new album ‘Ruthless’ in June

Gary Allan will release his new album ‘Ruthless’ on 25th June 2021.

The 13-track collection is produced by Mark Wright, Tony Brown, Greg Droman, Jay Joyce, and Allan himself. Fans can expect a body of work that feels engaging and fresh while drawing on Allan’s deep-rooted influences of the ‘80s and ‘90s.

“This is a montage of everything I have done since my last album,” Allan says of ‘Ruthless’. “It’s what I love.  I remain influenced by the ‘90s — as well as by the ‘80s. Twenty-six tracks were cut for this album.  Then I went back to the studio and recorded three or four more tracks. Then I returned for two more. From each of these many sessions, I stripped out the cool stuff that I wanted on the record.”

‘Ruthless’ was announced during a live stream appearance from House of Blues Studio in Nashville yesterday, exclusively on Allan’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

During the live stream, Allan gave his fans a first listen to his new music including the smoldering lead track, ‘Temptation,’ released today. Allan dropped the brand new merch collection that can be purchased with the album pre-order, including exclusive t-shirts, hats, vinyl, and more on his website at ruthless.garyallan.com.
