Outskirts

. . . Outskirts is a seven-song project featuring a fresh batch of tunes recorded just before the tragic death of Troy Gentry in a 2017 helicopter crash. Duo partner Eddie Montgomery already turned most of those recordings into the 2018 album, Here’s to You, but the tracks on Outskirts were just too meaningful to leave on the cutting-room floor. They include choice covers of Merle Haggard and Darrell Scott, plus a few new tracks like “King of the World.”-Sounds Like Nashville

. . . the studio album Outskirts, a seven-song compilation recorded a week prior to Gentry's death. Produced by Noah Gordon and Shannon Houchins, the album includes a cover of Merle Haggard's 1983 hit "What Am I Gonna Do (With the Rest of My Life)" and Darrell Scott's "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive". Later in the year, the label released a deluxe version with additional songs. At the time of the album's release, Montgomery said that he planned to continue touring under the Montgomery Gentry name even after Gentry's death, and that he wanted to honor Gentry by releasing songs that they had worked on prior.-Wikipedia

  • Country Standard Time

    This record is really an extension of that sentiment to forge ahead, giving the world as much Gentry as they had in the vault. While this collection doesn't much add or detract from the MG legacy, it does serve as a capable reminder of the "T-roy" swagger and talent that lives on in memory.

  • Raised On It

    The project, properly titled Outlaws is a nod to the duo’s country rebel roots and unapologetic brashness that gained them thousands of fans. While this might not be the last project we hear from Montgomery Gentry, for the rebel cowboys they became, you can’t ask for a better send off or musical tribute for Troy.

  • Average Joes Super Store

    In typical Montgomery Gentry fashion, the new album is an exciting mix of work hard, play hard boot-stompin’ anthems and essential party-jams which fans have come to expect over the past two decades.

    . . . the final songs with Troy singing next to his friend Eddie Montgomery and about as pure a country sound as you could hope to hear
