Kinder, LA - Coushatta Casino Resort welcomes back country superstar Gary Allan Friday, January 18th at 8:00 p.m. in The Pavilion. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are currently on sale at the Coushatta Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, and at ticketmaster.com.

Gary Allan's Greatest Hits was recently certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of 500,000 copies. Released in March the 15 song collection includes "Smoke Rings in the Dark," "Man to Man," "Tough Little Boys," "Nothing on but the Radio," and "Best I Ever Had."
Allan's latest album "Living Hard" was released in October and contains the current Top 10 Country Hit, "Watching Airplanes." He was recently asked by CMT about "Watching Airplanes" and why he released it as a single. Allan replied "To me, it just sounds like a hit. I love the attitude of it. I love that he's sitting there watching airplanes buzz, trying to figure out which one his girl's on. I love the whole thing of it. I think it's the most reflective of my live show on a record that I've done. I think that the people that have only listened to my albums will think this is a bit of a change. But I think that if you go to my live show you'll go, 'Oh, that's exactly what Gary does.' I'm not that much different on the stage as I am off the stage."
