New Montgomery Gentry Release June 10

  Montgomery Gentry will release their seventh album, Back When I Knew It All,  on June 10, 2008.  The lead-off single and title track, “Back When I Knew It All”, is the fastest rising single to date for the duo. Montgomery Gentry cut the project in Memphis, and talked about how cool that was.   “We were down in Ardent Studio, where a bunch of legendary, mostly rock and roll acts had recorded,” comments Troy Gentry.  “We wanted to do something different.  I think it came together well down there, and it shows.” “Yeah, and it just really had that great groove, too,” Eddie Montgomery continues.  “When you go in and you see where Zeppelin recorded there, Bob Dylan and B.B. King.  Man, the vibe.  I don’t know if you believe in ghosts or not, but I felt that the ghosts were in the room when you were singing and playing.  So it was really, really cool.” Eddie Montgomery co-wrote 2 of the 11 tracks, “God Knows Who I Am,” and “One In Every Crowd.”  The duo also invited some special guests to join them on vocals, and the disc features Toby Keith on “I Pick My Parties” and Five For Fighting’s John Ondrasik on “Roll With Me.” Back When I Knew It All is the follow-up to Some People Change, which delivered three back-to-back Top 5 singles, including the #1 “Lucky Man,” as well as “What Do Ya Think About That,” which netted the duo their first GRAMMY nomination and a CMT nomination for Duo Video of the Year.  Recently, Montgomery Gentry also earned their eighth consecutive ACM nod for Top Vocal Duo.   With 11 Top 5 singles, 3 Platinum and 2 Gold discs, and a legacy of all-out party-atmosphere concerts, Montgomery Gentry has proven, time and again, that they know how to rock the house – on disc and on stage – as they hit the road again later this year, with upcoming tour dates to be announced.
