Montgomery Gentry Ready Release of 'Folks Like Us'

Nashville, TN (April 7, 2015) – Montgomery Gentry, one of country music’s most storied duos, has been hard at work in the studio with producer Michael Knox, putting the finishing touches on their first new record in over three years. FOLKS LIKE US, the new album from Montgomery Gentry, will release June 9 on Blaster Records through RED Distribution.
 
“Listening back through our older albums, I can definitely hear some growth and maturity in the new music, but Folks Like Us still feels like a Montgomery Gentry record,” shares Troy Gentry.  “There are probably a few more introspective moments on the album, and front to back, this might just be our strongest record yet.”
 
Top country websites Taste of Country and The Boot will exclusively preview the tracks from Folks Like Us later this month. The album’s title track is also the duo’s newest single, available now for digital download at iTunes at http://smarturl.it/mgfolks.
 
“We’re still who we are at the roots,” says Eddie Montgomery. “I reckon, you let it branch out a little bit and you learn. You live and learn, so that’s what we’ve tried to do with this new record.”
