It's rare for a staunch traditionalist to project an image as a serious musician and a sex symbol, but that's what Gary Allan has been aiming for--and achieving--of late. His 1999 star-making album, Smoke Rings in the Dark, played that sensual card with the title single and its smoldering video, as well as with the randy "Right Where I Need to Be." Now he reprises the formula with "Man of Me," this album's first single, a hard-driving, libido-strutting rocker with such sexual heat it threatens to burst into flames. If that, and its hubba, hubba video are what draw buyers, so be it, but there's plenty else to like here, even if Alright Guy, with too many novelty songs and edgy fillers, falls short of its predecessor. While this album takes Allan farther from the honky-tonk than his previous efforts, there's no resisting a guy who can imbue the heartbreak ballad "What I'd Say" with such restrained anguish, or handle the Western swing of "Adobe Walls" with such aplomb. Of all the stylish guys in Nashville in 2001, he's the one to keep your eye on. --Alanna Nash

Pleased As A Fan Should Be.......2007-02-18

I still have a couple more Gary Allan CDs to buy, and my collection will be complete. His voice is easy to listen to.. When I want to FEEL the emotion of the music, I put on any one of my Gary Allan CDs, and this one pleased me as much as the rest. I'm honored to be a fan. But it doesn't take a fan to hear that Gary Allan sings with his heart, touching those who listen with theirs.

Gary Allan is more than an "Alright Guy".......2006-11-12

From the #1 hit "Man to Man" to the sexy "Man of Me" Gary Allan really delivers an eclectic CD. The tune "Alright Guy" is a fun song that really makes you tap your toes, while "Adobe Walls" takes you away to a sexy Mexican cantina. "Devil's Candy" is a seductively sexy song about the hold that alcohol can have on you [no....that song is not about a woman :-) ]. "The One" is a song that every woman would LOVE for their significant other to sing to them ;-) I own all 6 of Gary Allan's CD and I must say that this one is one of my favorites! It is just good country music!!

Alright guy?.......2006-03-29

If you wanna hear an alright guy, check out Todd Snider, who wrote the track and played it 100 times better (IMHO). I think it's bare-faced cheek of this guy not only to do a bad cover of Todd's song but also use the name as the album title. I do not think he is an alright guy (musically speaking). I think he's just one more of these guys who think if they wear a cowboy hat and play "radio-friendly" music (pap), they'll make it big. Unfortunately, he may be right. Garth Brooks anyone? Do me a favour! There is so much good stuff out there, why waste your money on this? Buy Todd Snider instead, or John Prine, or Steve Earle, or Guy Clark, or...

Best of Gary Allen.......2004-05-09

"All Right Guy" contains some of Gary Allen's best work to date. This album shows how incredibly versatile his voice is, and showcases some of his greatest talents. Gary Allen is one of todays best county artist. Very traditional sound with a modern twist.

More Than Alright.......2004-03-12

This is a great album from Gary Allan. His fourth album shows the honky tonker showcasing more bawdy tunes than he has on his previous albums. The big hit from the album was the #1 hit "Man To Man", which was the third single from the album. Other released singles include the honky tonk driven "Man Of Me" and the ballad "The One". The title track was meant to be the fourth single, which would have been a controversial release, but instead they pushed for a the first single from his SEE IF I CARE album.

"The Devil's Candy" is one of my favorites, a great uptempo tune with a great chorus. His version of "What I'd Say" is well done, very haunting. "I'm Doing My Best", "I Don't Look Back" and "What's On My Mind" are other good uptempo country tunes. He does country as traditional as it can get, and his voice works well with the material. All this and more makes for a great release from Mr. Allan. Check this one out for sure!

True Tribute.......2007-03-11

It may seem odd to honor a SoCal punk band like the Offspring with a string tribute, but i can't see a better way to pay tribute than with a genre so wildly different and unthinkable. The fact that string tribute actually works demonstrates the strength of their compositions and owes a lot to the masterful music arrangement and production. Music is about ever evolving ideas and genre bending, and musicians are supposed to take one another's music and challenge our preconceived notions. I especially recommend tracks 2 - The Kids Aren't Alright, 6 - Self Esteem and 8 - Want you Bad. The original composition - Off String, does a beautiful job of capturing the spirit the music and definitely holds its own against the other tracks. This is a must have for the true Offspring fan as well as anyone else looking for an irreverent take on this genre.

Too Literal.......2006-02-08

The string quartet tribute to these Offspring songs are, in my opinion, a bit too literal. They try too hard to stick - strictly - to the original song and sometimes it produces awkward sounding music. For example, I think the best piece on this CD is the original song composed by the group performing in this CD. In a sense this is less a tribute than a translation, and the Offspring did just fine with their original instruments. Offspring fans might enjoy this CD, but I would reccomend any string quartet tribute - done by Todd Mark Rubenstein and David Davidson - to your other favorite band.

Think Metallica -> Apocalyptica.......2005-11-27

If you were to take an accoustic version of the featured Offspring songs, then have Apocalyptica cover them, this is probably what you would get.
This isn't a disk *by* the Offspring, it's a string tribute to them. It's good for when you want some Offspring, but in a relaxing background form. The music is wonderfully arranged for the most part, with a few sparse moments not quit living up to what I think they could have. Overall, if you can pick this up for a decent price, it is definitely a must-have for a true Offspring fan who can appreciate music that's a little on the classical side.

IT SUCKS ASS.......2005-08-25

i hate it i hate it i hate it

its dumb, it sucks, and its embarassing.

This is an utter disgrace to my favorite band. How can you POSSIBLY compare orchestra to THE OFFSPRING???? Plus, the orchestra sucks. Want some offspring? buy a REAL cd!

Gary Allan is an Alright Guy.......2003-01-30

Alright Guy has been certified Gold!
A cd for the honky tonk and rockin' country music fan.
Each song is fun and full of emotion. No need to skip over a song just push play and go with the flow. This cd also features a great remake of "What I'd say".
