Prairie Band Casino & Resort officials said because “Ruthless” is a collection of songs pulled from the past several years, Allan also pushed his boundaries using multiple producers. Prairie Band Casino & Resort officials said an accomplished songwriter and self-proclaimed “lyrics guy,” Allan is also humble enough to step back and “let the best song win.” This project is the largest batch of outside songs he’s ever released on an album and those winning songs come from a wide array of country music’s most impressive writers including Hillary Lindsey, Shane McAnally, Jim Beavers, busbee, Sarah Buxton, Rodney Clawson, Nicolle Galyon, Ryan Hurd, Matt Warren, Josh Kear, and the list goes on.Īccording to Prairie Band Casino & Resort officials, Allan weaves seamlessly between the deepest human emotions, whether that’s the enduring anguish in “Till It Felt Like You” or fleeting passion in “Trouble Knows Trouble.” He offers straightforward honesty in the gritty “Unfiltered” and he is the first to admit “there are quite a few lessons I had to learn from getting my teeth kicked in,” as the headstrong narrator in “The Hard Way.” “I remain influenced by the ‘80s and ‘90s, so you can hear some of that in there. “This is a montage of everything I have done since my last album,” said Allan.
