The catchy and upbeat tune showcases Allan\u2019s signature raspy and soulful vocals with a classic 90\u2019s sound that his fans have craved. Written by Josh Kear, Michael Hardy, and Mark Holman, the song sounds as a warning signal to a fellow bargoer to not waste a drink on a girl that is nothing but trouble.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about a girl that you just don\u2019t want any of your friends to get tangled up with. You\u2019ve been there. And you\u2019re telling him as he\u2019s looking at her and thinking she\u2019s cute\u2026 and you\u2019re saying, \u2018Man, just do something else because she\u2019s a waste of a whiskey drink. Don\u2019t do it,\u201d says Allan. The song was produced by Mark Wright and Tony Brown, who also produced his 1999 Platinum album <em>Smoke Rings in the Dark<\/em> which housed three of his Top 40 Country Hits.\u00a0 You can hear the new single \u201cWaste of a Whiskey Drink\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/strm.to\/GAWasteOfAWhiskeyDrinkPR\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the allure of a modern-day outlaw, Gary Allan has won over fans, peers and critics with his signature blend of smoldering vocals, rebellious lyrics and raucous live performances.
