Montgomery Gentry release new disc June 10

Monday, March 31, 2008 – With the lead-off single and title track, "Back When I Knew It All" the fastest rising single to date, Montgomery Gentry will release their seventh album on June 10.

Montgomery Gentry cut the project in Memphis. "We were down in Ardent Studio, where a bunch of legendary, mostly rock and roll acts had recorded," said Troy Gentry. "We wanted to do something different. I think it came together well down there, and it shows."

"Yeah, and it just really had that great groove, too," Eddie Montgomery sasid. "When you go in and you see where Zeppelin recorded there, Bob Dylan and B.B. King. Man, the vibe. I don't know if you believe in ghosts or not, but I felt that the ghosts were in the room when you were singing and playing. So, it was really, really cool."

Montgomery co-wrote 2 of the 11 tracks, "God Knows Who I Am" and "One In Every Crowd." The duo also features Toby Keith on "I Pick My Parties" and Five For Fighting's John Ondrasik on "Roll With Me."

Produced by Blake Chancey, "Back When I Knew It All" is the follow-up to "Some People Change," which delivered three consecutive top five singles, including the number one "Lucky Man," "What Do Ya Think About That," which netted the duo their first Grammy and a CMT nomination for Duo Video of the Year. Recently, Montgomery Gentry also earned their eighth consecutive ACM nod for Top Vocal Duo.

CD review - Here's to You It's impossible to listen to Montgomery Gentry's "Here's to You," without also feeling sad that it's the last studio album featuring Troy Gentry, who died in a helicopter crash. When they sing, "Here's to the ones who ain't in here tonight" during "Needing a Beer" and then go on to praise fireman and cops for being elsewhere fighting crime, you may be struck by the fact that Gentry also "ain't in here tonight. ...
CD review - Folks Like Us Where once Garth Brooks was criticized for not being country enough, today we have hip hop artists making cameos and artists like Sam Hunt topping the country charts with EDM songs. With no release since 2011's "Rebels on the Run," we see Montgomery Gentry return to a radically different country music scene than the one they were a part of at the turn of the century. Bro country has enjoyed a large amount of success in recent years, and it is arguable that this duo is one of the ...
