Following the album’s debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, Allan experienced significant success with his single “Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain),” which sold 2 million copies and topped the country music charts.
The song also earned praise from acclaimed poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou, who expressed admiration for its message of resilience. “There’s a country song out now which I wish I’d written, that says, ‘Every storm runs out of rain,'” Angelou remarked in an interview, highlighting the song’s inspirational impact.
Continuing his streak, Allan followed up with hits like “Pieces” and “It Ain’t the Whiskey,” the latter described by “Taste of Country” reviewer Billy Dukes as a poignant ballad that resonates deeply with Allan’s dedicated fanbase.

His success with “Set You Free” propelled him onto extensive tours and laid the groundwork for future recordings.
