Biography
Montgomery Gentry's journey into the front ranks of American music has been one of the most gratifying sagas of the past decade.  Their road to gold and platinum albums, CMA and ACM awards, a Grammy nomination and highly successful tours has been paved both with musical integrity and with an abiding respect for the people and the genre they represent.  Eddie Montgomery’s soul-stirring baritone and 19th-century outlaw look have become iconic among country's rowdier fans and Troy Gentry’s piercing tenor and classic good looks provide the perfect counterpoint.  Seldom have entertainers been identified so closely with their fans, and seldom has the respect and affection run so deep in both directions.  They share blue-collar outlooks; sunup-to-sundown work ethics; rootedness in God, country and family; and the ability to celebrate life and endure hardship.  It is a relationship few other artists in the often volatile world of show business can boast.  Now in their 10th year on the national stage, Montgomery Gentry can look back on one of country's most impressive legacies.  They have released more than 20 charted singles, have hit the top of the singles charts three times, and now, with the release of Back When I Knew It All, they have taken the next big step forward.  The album’s title cut and first single propelled to the top of the charts more quickly than any single in the duo’s history.  The CD shows Troy to be one of modern country's most stirring vocalists, while also showcasing Eddie's vocal talents, his ability to move from the raucous to the sublime, and his world-class songwriting skills.  The album, which both regard as the quintessential Montgomery Gentry CD, continues their tradition of connectedness as it restates their position as the honky-tonk poets of their generation.  For more information, visit http://montgomerygentry.musiccitynetworks.com/index.htm
