To understand what Eddie Montgomery and his Montgomery Gentry bandmates have gone through
over the last four months, you have to understand where they were headed.
The duo's future was
bright.
On September 6, 2017, Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry finished recording Here's To You,
their ninth studio album and their first in four years.
They'd already begun sharing songs
with fans, and the response was overwhelming.
I'm telling you, I think it's the best T-Roy
ever singing.
I was telling him that when he was in the studio.
I was like, damn T-Roy,
you're wearing it out, man.
I was like, [C#m] you're rocking it.
Then, two days later
The helicopter was occupied by two individuals, [G#m] the pilot and a passenger.
[A] The passenger was
extricated by emergency crews [B] and was eventually transported to Virtual Hospital in Marlton,
[A] where he was later [E] pronounced dead.
[C#m]
[B] Your whole world is justit
changes everything.
[E] And there's not a day that I don't [C#m] see it or, you know, it goes through my heart.
[A]
[C] [F]
[C] [G]
Just look out.
Hell [F] yeah, turn it [C] up.
Right on.
[A#] [G] Hell [F] yeah, sounds [D] good.
I might cuss and fight,
tell a few lies, break a few rules, make a promise that I [G] can't keep.
[D] I'm Anya Hammer, and Troy Gentry was just 50 years old when he died in a helicopter crash in
Medford, New [N] Jersey.
The news shocked the country music community and by all accounts, came at a
pivotal time in the singer's life.
His rough edges were being sanded away by a greater commitment
to God, his family and friends.
Better Me, the duo's current single, epitomized this with lyrics
like, I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I'm working on a better me.
There's another song called Drive
on Home that begins with Troy singing, I wonder if I'll still be here, working the same job in a
year.
While Montgomery admits to Taste of Country's Billy Dukes that listening to parts of the album
now can be eerie, this isn't one of them.
He loved his wife, you know, and I haven't talked a lot
about it, but you know, Angie and Kaylee, his daughter, you know, she lost her best friend and
and Kaylee, you know, lost her daddy.
I mean, you know, that's something you don't ever get over,
ever.
And so, you know, songs like Drive on Home and stuff, that's what he was always talking about
when he's on the road and stuff, man.
He, you know, couldn't he get, he got to drive back home to Angie
all the time.
How they doing?
How's his family doing?
Well, doing all right, you know.
She's got
a, her, her mom and father, mother and father moved down here, family, and of course Kaylee's at that
age, man, you know, where she's doing sports and doing everything.
So, you know, just keeping her
pretty busy.
After the crash and Gentry's funeral, Montgomery disappeared for a while, taking a break
from Everything Music.
The future of the band was very much in doubt.
All those questions fans had,
he had them too.
September 8th, man, changed, changed my world and a lot of people's world
far as that goes in our band and stuff.
And, you know, after that, I had just stopped and
I'm thinking, I'm going to let Amanda keep going on or do we release the album?
I had a lot of
sleepless nights and got to thinking about it and then I remember, man, a conversation that me and
T-Roy had a long time ago, you know.
Of course, we put this together.
We put this duo together, Nashville
didn't.
You know, we've been brothers and best friends, man, for almost 35 years.
I was sitting
there thinking and I remember, you know, us having conversations about going, hey man, if one of us
ever go down, we want Montgomery Gentry to keep going.
We want the other one to keep rocking and
keep it alive.
And so at that point, man, I got to thinking about it, you know, and
you just think about it at the time that it's just, you know, brother talk and
having a few drink talk, you know, stuff like that.
And then September 8th happens and
you get to thinking about everything and I called the band up too because they've been with us 20,
25 years.
I was like, you know what, T-Roy would kick my ass, man, if we didn't keep it rocking right now.
Part two of Unfiltered with Eddie Montgomery will explore Eddie's emotional return to the stage and
the future of Montgomery Gentry.
Talking about T-Roy is good therapy, he says, and he's ready
to laugh again.
That's something the country music community is happy to hear.
