Gary Allan released one of the best country albums of the year, but the lack of support has him questioning Nashville requisites: radio and record labels
, Allan, 54, is taking stock of his future. The arduous experience of making and releasingand the shunned response by radio — which once sent Allan songs like “Man to Man,” “Nothing on But the Radio,” and “Watching Airplanes” into heavy rotation — have him contemplating the idea of going rogue.
During that period, Allan — who used to wear cowboy hats and Western suits — took a half-hearted stab at fitting in. He released the slick, R&B-leaningin 2015. While he won’t admit he was chasing trends with the song, he doesn’t fully dismiss the notion either. “I think the closest we ever got was with ‘Hangover Tonight,’” he concedes, “but even that I wrote with Chris Stapleton.”is an anomaly amid the conformity of today’s country universe. He publicly endorses vaccines.
Consider it a safety net for what Allan sees as a coming sea change in the Nashville record industry. He predicts labels will gut radio promo teams and allocate their money elsewhere. “They’re not going to service [songs to] radio. They do not believe that it’s important. You’re going to start to see the A&R departments culling TikTok [for talent]. It’s embarrassing, but I think that’s where we’re headed.” In fact, it’s already happening: Big Machine’s Valory Music Co.
