Description:

With their third release, Montgomery Gentry, the only duo to seriously challenge Brooks & Dunn, again marry the sinewy muscle of Southern rock with blue-collar pride and passion, but dig deeper to showcase the music behind the machismo. Drafting such players as Allman Brothers/Rolling Stones alum Chuck Leavell and John Mellencamp/Joe Ely /Storyville vet David Grissom, the Kentucky pair turn the title song into a sweeping anthemic declaration of place and belonging, and then smoke their way through "Why Do I Feel Like Running," in which a restless man regrets his "gypsy bone." Part of their appeal is the ease with which these ultra-manly men reveal their vulnerability and pain, Eddie Montgomery letting it show in every word from his strong-as-oak baritone, and Troy Gentry showcasing it on the jilted lover's plea "Lie Before You Leave." That said, MG, who count on attitude to lift the more clichéd bar-band tunes, have yet to make the album of their career, and they move a little more toward pop each time out, no matter what the blistering electric guitars and driving banjos hope to convey. Keep your eye on these guys. They could go either way. --Alanna Nash

1IN my town, we don't kill tame animals in a pen with a bow and arrow  Aug 17, 2006
But apparently Troy Gentry thinks that's perfectly all right. He bought a tame bear named Cubby, locked it in a pen and then shot arrows at it, all in the name of fun. That behavoir is sickening, and I sincerely hope he gets jail time for it. Please do not support the lifestyle of an animal abuser--this was NOT hunting. THis was torture, plain and simple.

Great album. "My town" is one of the best country songs of the last few years.

52nd Best MG album!!  Mar 22, 2006
This album is GREAT!!!!!!! But "Carryin' on" is a little better but they both rock.
This album is great, with only one song on it I could do without and that is "lonesome"

But the album is great from start to finish, starting with "My Town" which was a huge hit for them and I know why.
You got the "in your face" stuff that is great and tells you they mean business- song examples like that are, for sure, "Hell Yeah" "Bad For Good" and then there is, "Good Clean Fun", which some would think is a bad song because it gives the impression that 'having fun' for one night is more important than a commitment, and it is all about, yes all about the sex and nothing else- But when I listen to it I don't feel that way; I think it is just a fun, party song- that is it.

and "Lie Before you Leave" should have been a single; it would have done great on the charts and I feel it would have gotten a lot of radio play not to mention record sales; it would have been a fav. And "Free Fall is one of my fav MG songs as well as "Hell Yeah" and "Didn't I" I'm not sure Free Fall would have done good as a single though.

And this is just to point out a few songs from the album- they all ROCK
MG is the way to go- they rock their country!!

5The Best Duo Ever  Oct 20, 2005
I've been an avid Montgomery Gentry since about 1998 when I first heard this album. They are best country duo in the business and they just don't stop getting better. Their tough, thorough, and modern cowboy ego is extremely intense. In almost every song, there is something great to relate to or laugh at. Not only do they put extremely well written and well composed country music, their concerts are as good as they get. I RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM TO ANY COUNTRY FAN!

4This is my town..... so give me some speed...Hell yeah!  Aug 08, 2005
The words of Eddie Montgomery in the title track bring up images that seem to stay with the albums tracks of americana life from running away from a bad love in "speed", to getting down at the bar dive even though your life isn't what you expected in "hell yeah".
This Cd also suffers a little from the slump (as described by the amazon reviewer as the "bar band" feel) MG has toward the end of their cd's usually, but was a well thought out cd compared to "carrying on"..But still slumps away from being a totally good albumn because of it.
The remake of the Allman Brothers "good Clean Fun" off their 1990 album "seven turns" is a notable remake of the song but doesn't have the griityness of the original as done by Gregg Allman and co and so is more of a notable tribute to them than a owning of it.
So that's why I give it 4 stars, great albumn but still not a cd full of material to write home about.
