A Long Line Of Losers

With their debut single "Hillbilly Shoes", Montgomery Gentry burst onto the scene in 1999 with a sound that heavily recalled the raw energy of Southern rock. While that sound has been gradually tamed over time, the duo's material has remained remarkably consistent. Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry still have their moments where they rock out (see "One in Every Crowd"), but now it's tempered with a sense of maturity ("Roll with Me") and even a dash of humor ("Back When I Knew It All"). "Long Line of Losers" (listen here), previously one in a long line of non-charting singles for co-writer Kevin Fowler, is a good example of Montgomery Gentry's musical evolution.
