Montgomery Gentry

After such a great performance at the Benton-Franklin Fair, I thought we'd go back to 1999 and check out Montgomery Gentry's first big hit, Hillbilly Shoes!

KORD has the great privilege of introducing Montgomery Gentry and John Michael Montgomery before their 7:30 p.m. show at the Benton Franklin Fair & Rodeo -- DON'T MISS IT!

102.7 KORD welcomes Montgomery Gentry and John Michael Montgomery to the Benton Franklin Fair on Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014. Tickets on sale this Friday!

Eddie Montgomery, one half of country duo Montgomery Gentry, closed out 2013 by filing for individual bankruptcy.

Montgomery Gentry are one of the most successful duos in country music history. Consisting of Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry, they landed a deal with Columbia Records and shot to fame with the 1999 release of their debut album 'Tattoos & Scars,' which went Platinum on the strength of hit singles like 'Hillbilly Shoes' and 'Lonely and Gone.'

Since making their debut with 1999′s ‘Tattoos & Scars,’ Montgomery Gentry have notched five number one singles, three platinum albums, and two gold records. And with their upcoming seventh release, ‘Rebels on the Run,’ they’re looking to use some of the tumult and heartache of the last year to put them back on top of the charts.
