Gary Allan recalls pivotal ‘Smoke Rings in the Dark’ album, and says he’s recording new “throwback” music
It was pivotal for me. It started to define a sound, and we had that sound before, but this record put a stamp on it. That was our thing after that. It was cutting edge, but now you listen to it and it sounds so long ago.“Right Where I Need to Be,” the album’s biggest hit, was co-written by Kendell Marvel, who is having his own success now with his solo albums.
He said that was the first song he wrote when he came to town, and he thought, “Wow, this is going to be easy!” [] We close the show with that right now. It remains a huge one for me, still. That was the big song to play in colleges too — all the other bands covered it, and it’d be cool to walk in and hear that everywhere.I covered that song since I was a kid. We were done cutting and I turned around to Mark Wright and said, “I always wanted to cut this. Let’s one-pass it.
“Don’t Tell Mama,” your classic country car-accident ballad, is nothing but twang, and you say fans still request it at shows. Do you think country listeners today are looking for something organic and traditional? I do. And our live shows are increasing every year. We haven’t had a single in quite a bit, but I just went in [to the studio] to make a Nineties record, with “throwback” in mind. I think I got some good stuff that will be legit for today. I just cut six sides with Mark and Tony, so I’m trying to capture that sound again right now. We put the same band together, and we really got it too.Totally. There is a lane right now opening up and I’m going to step right into it.
