Duo US formé à Lexington (Kentucky) par Eddie Montgomery et Troy
Gentry.
Country duo
Montgomery Gentry evokes the sound and spirit of Southern rockers like Lynyrd
Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, and
Charlie Daniels, painting themselves as
rowdy redneck rebels who still hold small-town values. Eddie Montgomery and Troy
Gentry first met in Early Tymz, a Lexington, KY, band led by Montgomery's
brother, future country star
John Michael Montgomery. Both Eddie and Troy had been performing on the
local club scene since their teenage years, the former as a drummer in his
father's band. After Early Tymz broke up, a new group called Young Country
formed from its ashes, with
John Michael billed out front. He eventually went solo, of course, and
Montgomery Gentry first formed not long after, initially calling themselves
Deuce. After playing around Lexington for a time, Montgomery Gentry landed a
deal with Columbia thanks to a showcase performance. Their debut album,
Tattoos & Scars, was released in 1999 and made the country Top Ten on the
strength of the Top 20 singles "Hillbilly Shoes" and "Daddy Won't Sell the Farm,"
plus the Top Five smash "Lonely and Gone" and the
Charlie Daniels collaboration "All Night
Long." They were named the CMA's Duo of the Year in 2000, breaking a run of
eight consecutive years by Brooks & Dunn.
2001 brought the follow-up album, Carrying On, which also made the
country Top Ten and produced the number two smash "She Couldn't Change Me." A
third album, My Town, was completed quickly and released in 2002,
bringing the duo their third Top Five hit in the title track. The hard-driving
You Do Your Thing arrived in 2004, followed by the greatest-hits
collection Something to Be Proud Of: The Best of 1999-2005 in November of
2005. Some People Change appeared from Columbia Records in 2006.
