Cowboy Blues 11. I'm The One 12. Greenfields Editorial Reviews After two close-but-no-cigar efforts for the now-defunct Decca label, Smoke Rings in the Dark marks Gary Allan's emergence as a major talent. The album was coproduced by MCA Nashville honchos Tony Brown and Mark Wright, who between them have been responsible for dozens of No. 1 country hits in the '90s. Thanks to shrewd song selections, Allan's sound bridges the gap between the contemporary Nashville mainstream and West Coast alt-country with style and integrity. With its haunting Roy Orbison-style refrain, the title track is among the most immediately memorable singles to penetrate country playlists in 1999. The ballads "Bourbon Borderline" and "Greenfields" recall labelmate Mark Chesnutt, whose traditionalist leanings Allan clearly shares. At the same time, he's not averse to slinking and strutting through the zoot-suit swinger "Sorry" and howling a faithful cover of Del Shannon's "Runaway." Smoke Rings should make Allan a bona fide star; it's already established him as a bona fide artist. -- Rick Mitchell from Amazon.com +Smoke Rings In The Dark + Well I won't make you tell me What I've come to understand You're a certain kind of woman I'm a different kind of man I've tried to make you love me You've tried to find a spark of the flame that burned but Somehow turned to smoke rings in the dark
The loneliness within me Takes a heavy toll 'Cause it burns as slow as whiskey through an empty aching soul And the night is like a dagger Long and cold and sharp As I sit here on the front steps Blowing smoke rings in the dark
I- I- I know I must be going 'Cause loves already gone And all I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart And all I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
The rain falls where it wants to The wind blows where it will Everything on earth goes somewhere But I swear we're standin' still So I'm not going to wake you I'll go easy on your heart I'll just touch your face and drift away Like smoke rings in the dark
I- I- I know I must be going 'Cause loves already gone And all I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart and All I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
