Description:

This swaggering, tough-singing Kentucky duo consists of a pair of impassioned but unremarkable singers--Eddie Montgomery (brother of country star John Michael Montgomery) and his longtime musical associate Troy Gentry. They deliver a rowdy, whiskey-drenched, antiheroic brand of rocked-up honky-tonk that unabashedly conjures up memories of Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr., and other rough-and-rowdy country "outlaws" of yesteryear. Montgomery and Gentry wear these influences well on serviceable cuts like "Hillbilly Shoes" and "Didn't Your Mama Tell Ya," but do them a disservice on unremarkable ballads like "Trying to Survive" and "If a Broken Heart Could Kill," and on their derivative-sounding cover of Charlie Daniels's "All Night Long." The utter lack of original material on their debut CD is somewhat suspect, yet on killer cuts like the painfully confessional "Self Made Man" and the morally insightful "Daddy Won't Sell The Farm" they do show a few sparks of innovation amid all the ragged honky-tonk smoke and fire. --Bob Allen

5Priceless  Mar 16, 2008
I have just started getting into Country Music. I love all sorts of music but never had gotten into Country. This is one of those Cd's that you can play over and over continuously without fail. The lyrics of these songs are really just amazing. 3rd Tract "Lonely and Gone" is beyond amazing!!! Not sure what to say with my review that would cause anyone to buy this CD.....just that if you don't know whether you should or should not............YOU SHOULD...without a question. I never write reviews but I needed to with this CD. Give it a listen....it's special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

5Been a MG fan for 2 years  Mar 22, 2006
I became a MG fan when I heard them (on TV) perform at the Fanfare in Nashivlle. I heard 'Hell Yeah' quite a while before that and I loved that; and If you ever stop loving me. I didn't know who MG where then- then I heard their performance at fanfare (On the TV) and had to become a fan. I got all their albums.

This is their debut CD, and it is really good. Their first single; "Hilbilly Shoes" is about not judgeing people- sends a powerful message and it can still be rocked out.

And "Lonley and Gone" is a great song and they can sing it with such emotion.. not to mention the vid for it!! Wow.
The whole album is good- and their version of "All Night Long" rocks
There are just so many things to say about each song.
"Daddy wont sell the farm" MAN! That song is great- the music singing melody and all. And it is about not being able to take a country boy out of thier setting, no matter what.

The whole album is great- and If i heard this album when it debuted in 1999 I would have said, "These guys will be around for a long time to come"
