Description:

With their 1999 debut, Tattoos & Scars, the Kentucky-born duo of Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry carved out a robust niche by tapping into the rowdy, long-haired country-boy spirit and stylings of '70s "outlaw" kings like Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr., and Charlie Daniels. The duo has only one original song on Carrying On, their second album, and they mostly rely on studio musicians for their energetic neo-honky-tonk and full-tilt retro Southern-rock instrumental backing. Even so, Carrying On (with its telling double-meaning title) is a much more fully realized and compelling work than their bestselling debut. The antiheroes who inhabit honky-tonk ballads and country-rock anthems like "She Couldn't Change Me," "The Fine Line," "Lucky to Be Here," "Black Jack Fletcher and Mississippi Sam," and their spirited remake of Jennings's outlaw classic "Ramblin' Man" drive too fast, drink and smoke too much, show disdain for urban affectations, and occasionally even contemplate suicide when life and love go bad. And they make no apologies for it. In country's somewhat stifling era of yuppified political correctness, Montgomery Gentry's unreconstructed, unapologetic redneck brashness and fervor blows across the musical landscape like a hearty and welcome "southeaster." --Bob Allen

4A little bit country - a little bit rock and roll  Jun 24, 2008
This duo is electric. Great vocals and harmony and the songs they write and sing speak to the soul. If you are on the fence about country...give them a try. This album was amazing.

1What a PATHETIC LOSER!!!  Aug 20, 2006
Look at me ....I'm a tough guy ....just ask that dead tame bear over there. Gentry is so phoney he could be in the Bush administration. Let's make him co-Sec. of Defense! Rumsfeld-Gentry! Yeah, we'd limit our targets to unarmed people but the numbers would be great!

What a PATHETIC LOSER!!!

Country Singer Charged With Killing A Tame Bear
(WCCO) Minneapolis Country singer Troy Lee Gentry was indicted Tuesday in federal court on a charge of illegally killing and tagging a tamed black bear.

Gentry, of Franklin, Tenn., and Lee Marvin Greenly, a 46-year-old wildlife photographer from Sandstone, Minn., appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Raymond Erickson in Duluth, Minn. Tuesday morning. Their case being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael A. Dees.

According to the indictment, Greenly sold Gentry a tame, trophy-caliber black bear named "Cubby" for approximately $4,650 in October of 2004. Greenly housed several animals for use in his photography business.

After the transaction, the indictment reports that Greenly and Gentry tagged the bear with a Minnesota hunting license. Gentry then allegedly killed the captive bear with a bow and arrow while the animal was still enclosed in a pen on Greenly's property.

The indictment further alleges that Greenly and Gentry registered the bear with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as though it had been hunted in the wild before shipping the animal's hide to a taxidermist in Kentucky for mounting.

According to the Lacey Act, it is illegal to falsely tag a tame bear for the purpose of hunting.

The bear's death was videotaped and allegedly edited after the fact to make it appear that Cubby had been killed in a "fair chase" situation.

Greenly is also facing two further charges of violations against the Lacey Act, including guiding hunters to the Sandstone National Wildlife Refuge, where black bear hunting is illegal, and unlawfully setting up bear-baiting stations in the area.

Both Gentry and Greenly have been released on bond pending their next court appearance. If convicted on the charges, they could both face a maximum potential penalty of five years in federal prison and a $20,000 fine.

5No Doubt- MG's best album!!  Mar 22, 2006
This has that southern rock sound in it still but this time it also has that good ol country sound as well (which some of Montgomery Gentry's songs lack; but I still am a HUGE HUGE fan)

All the songs on this are great, 'Ramblin man' is one of my fav's; and so is "While the world goes down the drain"

Also, "My fathers son" has that great guitar part in the begininng and I could tell i'd already love it. Also, The Fine Line, and not to mention "Cold one comin on" (what a powerful song!!!) This whole CD is great- not a bad song on it. Definetely MG's best!!!
I think this CD secured Montgomery Gentry's place in the country music business, and their other two after this one backed it up.
MG aren't goin anywhere they are here to stay!!
MG ROCK!!!!!

3MG 's sophmore slump  Aug 08, 2005
This was MG's second cd offering after announcing to the world who they were with tattoos and scars. However IMO this album was a sophmore slump for a duo who has gone on to make two more killer cd's
The CD starts off in a great direction with "She couldn't change me" and "Cold on,Coming on", however some of the other tracks such as "blackjack fletcher" seemed more like filler material to put out a CD to capture the wave they were on. Possibly this is why the CD only stayed as their latest offering for a little more than a year.
If you are a fan of the songs that got radio play (such as " she couldn't change me") or are completeing a collection of MG material, then this is a buy, other than that, Any of the other 3 will satisfy your cravings for southern fried country a hell of a lot better.
