The impressive opener, “Watching Airplanes,” mixes mandolin and slide with swooping strings, orchestra bells, and Beatleseque passages to create a huge pop sound. Allan’s charged vocals and the grand production (by Allan and Mark Wright) energize the track: it’s a classic example of upbeat music playing off of forlorn lyrics. “She’s So California,” one of a handful of tunes that Allan co-wrote, utilizes iconic California imagery to make its point — the music nods towards the country-rock of the Eagles and the songwriters toss in an earthquake metaphor to boot. You can hear traces of ZZ Top, Tom Petty and others 80s rockers on the album; “Half of My Mistakes” stands out as the most countryish song here but even that track features dirty electric guitar as well as sweet fiddle. “Learning How to Bend” might be the most personal song on Living Hard. It’s the sort of compelling cut that makes a listener zoom in on the singer’s words and quietly listen to what he has to say."},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=12990&salableAdamId=1440799993&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$12.99","price":12.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1440799993&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1440494090","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/1440494090?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1500,"height":1500,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music124/v4/90/e7/55/90e755b1-d43e-eb7c-63a8-ef94cc3ffdfa/10UMGIM04838.rgb.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"953f29","textColor1":"fafdff","textColor2":"fae8dd","textColor3":"e5d7d4","textColor4":"e6c6b9"},"artistName":"Gary Allan","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/get-off-on-the-pain-deluxe-edition/1440494090","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Country","Music","Urban Cowboy","Contemporary Country","Rock"],"trackCount":15,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2010-01-01","name":"Get Off On the Pain (Deluxe Edition)","recordLabel":"MCA Nashville","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"00602527372068","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 2010 MCA Nashville, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.","playParams":{"id":"1440494090","kind":"album"},"editorialNotes":{"standard":"Gary 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."},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=1440494090&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1440494090&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1444174947","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/1444174947?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1425,"height":1425,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music125/v4/1f/f5/d6/1ff5d692-f50c-0429-983a-a5d80eec9cf0/00008817037028.rgb.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"909285","textColor1":"090b09","textColor2":"121512","textColor3":"242622","textColor4":"2b2e29"},"artistName":"Gary Allan","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/see-if-i-care/1444174947","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Country","Music","Contemporary Country","Urban Cowboy"],"trackCount":11,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2003-01-01","name":"See If I Care","recordLabel":"MCA Nashville","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"00008817037028","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 2003 MCA Nashville, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.","playParams":{"id":"1444174947","kind":"album"},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=7990&salableAdamId=1444174947&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$7.99","price":7.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1444174947&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1559782719","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/1559782719?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":3000,"height":3000,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music115/v4/e9/e7/7e/e9e77e34-b5ac-8967-a6da-fe76114c6edf/21UMGIM02290.rgb.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"010519","textColor1":"eef4ec","textColor2":"f9f0e9","textColor3":"bfc4c2","textColor4":"c7c1bf"},"artistName":"Gary Allan","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/ruthless/1559782719","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Country","Music"],"trackCount":13,"isMasteredForItunes":true,"releaseDate":"2021-06-25","name":"Ruthless","recordLabel":"EMI Nashville","editorialArtwork":{"storeFlowcase":{"width":4320,"height":1080,"url":"https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features124/v4/e4/29/dd/e429dde9-0350-1f6c-e319-914a7cdf6131/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"141a18","textColor1":"cdf2d5","textColor2":"afc4b3","textColor3":"a1bfa9","textColor4":"8a9d8f"},"subscriptionHero":{"width":4320,"height":1080,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features125/v4/f8/e1/75/f8e175a2-2382-da49-335a-a583cc29f94d/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"383635","textColor1":"d8d4d1","textColor2":"e19877","textColor3":"b4b1ae","textColor4":"bb8269"},"staticDetailSquare":{"width":3840,"height":3840,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features125/v4/7a/2a/d9/7a2ad9b7-5978-b215-79f7-7991067a8295/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"010512","textColor1":"ccd7d0","textColor2":"a8bda9","textColor3":"9ba4a3","textColor4":"809085"},"staticDetailTall":{"width":2048,"url":"https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features125/v4/a5/66/ae/a566aedb-7295-848a-04ec-025c6032e92d/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","textGradient":["ffffff","ffffff"],"height":2732,"textColor3":"a1a5a8","textColor2":"ffffff","textColor4":"919c92","textColor1":"ffffff","bgColor":"040710"}},"upc":"00602557077339","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"An EMI Records Nashville Release;

Released eight years after his ninth effort, 2013’s Set You Free, the album comprises 13 tracks culled from nearly 30 Allan had in the can, a collection he describes as his honest attempt at bringing together the best of his new material. “I hope it fills that need after eight years,” Allan tells Apple Music. “There's a ’90s thing that's coming back, and I think I just wanted to take advantage of that.” That ’90s influence is all over Ruthless, like the midtempo opening track and popular single “Temptation” and the clever “Waste of a Whiskey Drink,” which name-checks another ’90s act: Pearl Jam. Below, Allan walks Apple Music through several key tracks on Ruthless.
\n“Temptation”\n“This was brought to me by Brian Wright, my A&R guy, and it's just one of those songs—everybody's got somebody they always think about but have moved on from, always the slight temptation. I was drawn to this song, I think, mostly because of the melody. And the beat. It's a fun song to play live. And I'm excited to have it out there for everybody.”
\n“Waste of a Whiskey Drink”\n“That's about sitting in a bar watching somebody about to make a big mistake with a girl. And I think we've all done that, known the person in the bar that's just trouble. You're telling your body, ‘Look, that's just a waste of a whiskey drink. You got to get out of there.’”
\n“Slide”\n“Everybody always wonders if you're going to be enough for somebody. Especially when you're about to commit. You're thinking, ‘What if I'm not enough? What if I don't live up to what you expect?’ And it’s got a lot of great lines in there. ‘I'm a hellfire over holy water, blue sky hurricane, I'm a mix of everything, and I hope if I slip, you'll let it slide.’ Fun song.”
\n“Pretty Damn Close”\n“When it comes to love, I've never really believed in ‘meant to be’s’ and all that stuff. I don't know what love is, but if it's not this, this is pretty damn close, I think is the sentiment of it.”
\n“Ruthless”\n“That's my favorite track on there, I think that's why it ended up being the title track. I love the melody of it, I love the sentiment of it, I love the lyrics. It's one of those songs where it's a breakup song, and you obviously still have feelings for this person, and they're just kind of ghosting you, ignoring you, pretending like nothing ever happened. And you're just like, ‘How? How can you be so ruthless?’”
\n“The Hard Way”\n“To me, it's such a poetic song.

Though his earlier releases have been potent works in the Merle Haggard/Buck Owens tradition, his latest release reaches a new level honesty and soulfulness. Love and the loss of it are the themes of tracks like “Best I’ve Ever Had,” “He Can’t Quit Her,” and “Putting My Misery on Display.” Allan’s vocals — as firmly wrought and scarred-up as a barroom floor — plumb the depths of heartache on “I Just Got Back From Hell” and reach for redemption on “Nickajack Cave.” Amidst these tales of suffering, he finds a hard-won peace on the wistful “Life Ain’t Always Beautiful.” Throughout, he carries himself with a rugged grace. Allan’s best album yet, Tough All Over is a brave, compelling act of confession."},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=7990&salableAdamId=1440784032&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$7.99","price":7.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1440784032&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1478952658","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/1478952658?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":5000,"height":5000,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music124/v4/06/25/1f/06251f33-39c8-2eb2-8bd3-71993e22d533/19UMGIM69415.rgb.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"b98881","textColor1":"000002","textColor2":"1e1820","textColor3":"251b1b","textColor4":"3d2e33"},"artistName":"Gary Allan","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/smoke-rings-in-the-dark-deluxe-edition/1478952658","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Country","Music","Contemporary Country","Urban Cowboy"],"trackCount":13,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"1999-10-26","name":"Smoke Rings In the Dark (Deluxe Edition)","recordLabel":"MCA Nashville","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"00602508143830","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"An MCA Nashville release;
