Montgomery Gentry is an American country music duo composed of Eddie Montgomery (brother of country singer John Michael Montgomery) and Troy Gentry.[1] Gentry and both Montgomery brothers originally comprised Early Tymz, a country band which had local success in clubs throughout the state of Kentucky.

These albums have produced more than twenty chart singles for the duo to date on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including the Number One hits "If You Ever Stop Loving Me", "Something to Be Proud Of", "Lucky Man", and "Back When I Knew It All" as well as nine more Top Ten hits.
