Talking about the songs on Ruthless, Gary shares, “It’s what I love. I remain influenced by the ‘90s — as well as by the ‘80s.”

Gary definitely record his fair share of tracks for the album before he got it down to the 13 that made the project, “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.”

“Temptation” is the lead track for Ruthless that is out now…

Gary Allan also previously released the music video for “Waste of a Whiskey Drink”…
