 Both
proud Kentucky natives, Gentry and Montgomery's first joint musical
effort was as part of a band called Young Country. After two years with
that band, Gentry left to try his hand at a solo career. He won the Jim
Beam National Talent Contest in 1994 and earned opening slots for Patty
Loveless, Tracy Byrd and John Michael Montgomery (who is Eddie’s younger
brother).
Without being able to turn up a solo deal, Gentry forged a duo with
Montgomery, building on their rowdy fan base in the Kentucky nightclubs.
Their onstage experience has established them as a good-timing crowd
favorite, while they’ve scored country hits like “Lonely and Gone,” “She
Couldn’t Change Me” and “My Town.” They won the CMA vocal duo award in
2000. Montgomery
