Gary Allan is out with his first new single in three years, “Waste of a Whiskey Drink.” Written by Josh Kear, Michael Hardy and Mark Holman.
“It’s about a girl that you just don’t want any of your friends to get tangled up with,” Allan explains in a press release. “You’ve been there. And you’re telling him as he’s looking at her and thinking she’s cute … and you’re saying, ‘Man, just do something else because she’s a waste of a whiskey drink. Don’t do it.”
“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,” Allan told Rolling Stone earlier this year. “I think I got some good stuff that will be legit for today. I just cut six sides with (producers) Mark (Wright) and Tony (Brown,) so I’m trying to capture that sound again right now. We put the same band together, and we really got it too.”
