CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com 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 Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFine, Old Style, Hard Country John A Lee III | San Antonio, TX | 06/09/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Montgomery Gentry provides something that has been missing from country music for far too long. They provide a dose of "hard country" that doesn't try and pretend to be a pop crossover. Their music is neither jingoistic nor is it blatantly anti-American. Some may be convinced that they sing to "red state" values while others will be equally convinced that "blue state" working class people are the audience. The truth is that the audience is anyone who likes hard charging country music. Their vocal style is reminiscent of Hank Williams, Jr. of long ago and their instrumental style bears a lot of the same resemblance. There are definite southernisms in the manner of speech but the messages of the songs would be just as appreciated by a working auto plant laborer in Detroit. Great Job!" MG 's sophmore slump Thomas Burke | Somewheres between texas and louisiana | 08/08/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "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." No Doubt- MG's best album!! VideoGameKing | 03/21/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "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!!!!!" |
