Get Off On the Pain (Deluxe Edition) – Gary AllanView More By Gary Allan Our ReviewGary Allan is the archetypal country outlaw with a broken heart, making albums that mix rugged resolve with a haunting sense of loss. Get Off On the Pain is filled with emotionally true accounts of wounded love and hard-won acceptance. Allan has refined the aching edge of his voice into an instrument of subtle skill. As tormented ballads like “Today” and “Along the Way” show, he knows how to convey suffering while maintaining his dignity. The material here is up to his high standards, with “Kiss Me When I’m Down” (an account of a damaged relationship that draws real blood) and “No Regrets” (a nostalgic number filled with bittersweet gratitude) standing out for their tough-minded honesty. Allan turns his hard knocks into an anthem in the ornery title tune and soars above everyday troubles in “That Ain’t Gonna Fly.” The album’s sweeter tunes — especially “She Gets Me” and “When You Give Yourself Away” — still retain the grit of Allan’s honky-tonk days. In the end, Get Off On the Pain transcends its world of hurt to arrive at a place of hope and forgiveness..

Wish he put Long Year and Breakdown on the album but whatever it ROCKS!!!! I want to selfishly tell you it's not great... (5 stars) ....but i would be lying. Let's just try & keep it our secret! Every great artist who gets exposed & blown into stardom then becomes impossible to see intimately or at all, or you could pay $75 for a cheap seat. Gary Allan is the absoulte best. His songs are personal & meaniful & he's got an edge that NO OTHER country artist has. Everything he does is fantastic! Now..don't tell your friends ;) Was worth waiting for ONE year for... (5 stars) Once again Gary did not disappoint...cannot wait to see him with Brooks&Dunn this summer. Happy listening!!!!! BiographyBorn: December 05, 1967 in La Mirada, CAGenre: Country Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s Gary Allan hit the honky tonk circuit in his native Southern California at the seasoned age of 12. Playing in and out of the smoky, sweaty bars with his dad's band led Allan to follow in his father's footsteps and start his own band. When Allan returned to those same honky tonks with his own combo, the sound was true Bakersfield country: Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and the rest. Allan spent most of his twenties honing his skills as a new traditionalist country singer; finally, in 1996, he was picked...
