MONTGOMERY GENTRY
Columbia Records' new duo Montgomery Gentry is poised and ready to blaze a brand new trail across the country music scene and if anyone can do it, it's this boundary-defying duo. Whether tearing it up on stage with their hard-driving harmonies or cutting up backstage with anybody primed and ready to have a good time, Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry are always operating at full tilt. Making their indefinable but irresistible brand of authentic honky-tonking country music - and having an absolute blast in the process - just comes naturally to these two Kentuckians. The duo's hardcore, raw-edged country sound - as evidenced in full glory on their Columbia Records debut album Tattoos And Scars - is as unmistakable as their distinctive personalities, and they make no apologies about the fact that they like to shake things up. They wouldn't really know any other way, after years of burning roadhouses down with their incendiary sound all over Lexington, Ky. Known for their rowdy onstage antics, the two readily admit their show can get a little out of hand. "We do get kind of wild onstage," admits Eddie, "so sometimes when we play in new places with the type of music we're doing, people are like, 'Wham! Hold on, boys, I don't know if we want to go that far or not!' We like to play music that sort of dares us, 'Can we step on this side of the fence or not? Just good ole boys doing a little bit more than the law will allow...that's us!"
