Alright Guy is the fourth studio album by American country music singer Gary Allan, released in 2001 on the MCA Nashville label. This was Allan's fourth studio album and it produced three singles. The first one, "Man of Me", reached number 18 on the Hot Country Songs charts. "The One" became his second Top Five hit, reaching number 3, and "Man to Man" became the first Number One hit of his career.
