Gary Allan tries on optimism with his new single 'Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain),' and surprisingly, it fits. The master of melancholy may be turning over a new leaf with his upcoming album. This song is borderline inspirational.

Good news for Gary Allan fans who have been burning holes into their copies of his last eight albums. New music is finally on its way, and it could be in your hands as soon as this year! Earlier this week (Feb. 27), Allan held a press conference in Nashville from his high-end mens clothing boutique, the Label, to discuss his year that he has mapped out thus far, including his headlining slot on th
