Chanteur Country US, Kevin Montgomery est le fils de
Bob Montgomery qui travailla avec
Buddy Holly.
Nashville,
New York, and Los Angeles all figure prominently into the musical landscapes
that singer/songwriter Kevin Montgomery paints with his high lonesome voice and
heartfelt lyrics. As the child of
Buddy Holly's musical partner and
Elvis Presley's backup singer, Montgomery had little choice in the matter of
his musicality. With that bloodline, the nature angle is covered pretty well. As
for the nurture side, growing up in Nashville set the rootsy Americana sound as
the basis of Montgomery's work, while busking in subways adds New York's sly,
street-smart sensibilities to the mix. The wide-open, sun-filled skies of Los
Angeles top it all off with an optimism and melodicism reminiscent of Jackson
Browne.
Montgomery made a strong debut in 1993 with Fear Nothing on A&M Records. It
showcased a young talent with obvious potential, earned him slots fronting for
labelmate Sheryl Crow and David Crosby, and garnered limited airplay on Triple-A
radio. With that foundation, Montgomery bounced around for several years before
departing A&M. He got himself onto a number of compilation discs, including the
Buddy Holly tribute Not Fade Away where he duets with
Mary Chapin Carpenter. Montgomery also took some time to collaborate with
folks like
Lee Ann Womack, Cindy Alexander,
Rodney Crowell, and Anna Wilson. Both
Martina McBride and Juice Newton
sought out Montgomery's tunes to cover. In 2000, Another Long Story came to
light in the U.K. and Europe. A great collection of Montgomery's strongest work
yet, it caught Paul McCartney's ear and got Montgomery invited to perform at the
former Beatles' annual
Buddy Holly birthday event in London. His popularity overseas has been
further proven by the numerous television performances and sold-out concerts
enjoyed on every visit. To capture the feel of his acoustic European shows,
Montgomery recorded Kevin Montgomery Live at Nashville's legendary Bluebird Café
in 2001. Also released in 2001 was the EP Paint which features a duet with
Trisha Yearwood on the aptly titled "Tennessee Girl." That track was chosen
by the BBC as their lead-in to the CMA Awards.
