The
Artist:
Though
most of his family hails from Hazard,
Kentucky, Harley spent most of his
childhood in Dayton, Ohio. Through the
70's Harley Allen sang in the family
band headed by his famous father,
bluegrass singer Red Allen. It was here
that Harley developed his ability to set
a scene and capture human nature in
verse. The next 20 years Harley fronted
his own groups and recorded 15 albums on
various small labels. In 1996, Harley
scored his first major label release on
Mercury Nashville on the album ANOTHER
RIVER. It brought characters and
true-to-life images from Harley's world.
Harley's songs have been recorded by
GARTH BROOKS, ALAN JACKSON, LINDA
RONSTADT, HAL KETCHUM, TY ENGLAND and
ALISON KRAUSS.
Here is HARLEY ALLEN, a great songwriter
and performer, including his own
versions of his hits, THE LITTLE GIRL,
BETWEEN THE DEVIL & ME and
EVERYTHING I LOVE IS KILLIN' ME,
recorded at various performances Live At
The Bluebird Café.
