Editorial Review: After two close-but-no-cigar efforts for the now-defunct Decca label, Smoke Rings in the Dark marks Gary Allan's emergence as a major talent. The album was coproduced by MCA Nashville honchos Tony Brown and Mark Wright, who between them have been responsible for dozens of No. 1 country hits in the '90s. Thanks to shrewd song selections, Allan's sound bridges the gap between the contemporary Nashville mainstream and West Coast alt-country with style and integrity. With its haunting Roy Orbison-style refrain, the title track is among the most immediately memorable singles to penetrate country playlists in 1999. The ballads "Bourbon Borderline" and "Greenfields" recall labelmate Mark Chesnutt, whose traditionalist leanings Allan clearly shares. At the same time, he's not averse to slinking and strutting through the zoot-suit swinger "Sorry" and howling a faithful cover of Del Shannon's "Runaway." Smoke Rings should make Allan a bona fide star; it's already established him as a bona fide artist. --Rick Mitchell

Rating: - This is a fantastic CD
I was recently introduced to Gary Allen's music, and this is one of my favorite CDs. I find myself listening to it over and over. Gary Allen has such a great voice, and his band is excellent, too. I don't know why country stations in my area don't play his songs more often. He's a better singer than some of the more famous country celebrities out there. When I'm driving in my car, I find myself turning off the radio and listening to this CD instead.

I am excited for purchasing this cd because it is better than I expected.I bought it for just one song but I found out that I like all the songs as well.
Rating: - One of the Best
Smoke Rings in the Dark is one of the best albums I own. I love every song on it. I saw Gary Allan in concert when he was touring this album... he sings like his album. A very talented artist.
