Eddie Montgomery is the 'Undertaker' LOL & Troy Gentry is the other guy, who sadly was killed a few years back, in a helicopter crash on the way to a benefit concert. So sad. These two have some great songs with strong, wholesome, loving values.
First, Long Live Troy! This song was my introduction to Montgomery Gentry. I love everything they recorded. Perhaps that's because of their ties to Southern Rock. This is my very favorite song from them. It's been difficult to find anyone doing a reaction to it. The message is spot on. Thank you for the reaction. PS, they recorded a "Crossroads" episode with Lynyrd Skynyrd. It's an epic show very well worth checking out.
As others have said.. RIP Troy.. some folks even though talented and somewhat famous you just know are good guys. He was one of those. Great songs.. when his voice comes in.. it's so sweet.
This song touches my heart. My son struggled with drug addiction for 20 yrs. I became a prayer warrior. I prayed for God to protect him and to bring to salvation. My prayers were answered 13 months ago when he for the hundredth time went into rehab. But this time he stayed in the program. At the halfway house one of the requirements was they had to attend church. He was saved and had been clean ever since! So don't give up people do change!!!!!
That’s amazing to hear. Addiction has to be one of the toughest demons to fight and overcome. I’ve struggled with addiction and will always consider myself to be in recovery because the second I let my guard down and say I’m no longer an addict…I’m afraid will be the moment I relapse.
I watched my father, growing up, who was probably one of the most racist people you will ever meet. As he grew older, he started to be friend Some members of the black community karma and they turned out to be some of his best friends at the end of his life. If this man can change, then it's possible for anyone to change. Rest in peace dad.
Props to your father! If people would all just give each other a chance, & really get to know those they perceive as the “other,” for whatever reason - learn their stories & WHO they are - maybe we’d open our hearts to realize we are all the same where it counts… we are human. And we need each other. “Be kind, for everyone you meet us fighting a hard battle.” ~ attributed to Ian McClaren (but also to Plato?) That is a beautiful song. I’m not a huge country listener, so thanks for introducing me to it! Peace & love to all ❤
Love and miss you Troy! Fly high my friend! 💔♥️ And Sebs, I can see and I so love your heart. So glad we can know you and your beautiful family through music.
I was at this video shoot and talked with Troy and Eddie that night for a story I was writing. What a special night that was . . . and what a powerful video.
I too wasn't much of a country fan but sharing in your journey of discovery has opened my eyes to the fact that they're not all "my wife left me, my dog died,and my gun jammed "soap operas. Many thanks to you and for your heartfelt reactions and for pointing me to artists worth listening to.
Sad part is this group is now just Montgomery. Eddie is alone now as Troy Gentry passed away in a plane accident a few years ago. Eddie still tours by himself.
Yeah, originally after Troy's death, Eddie was just going to sing the full songs himself, do both his and Troy's parts, but luckily the band spoke up and said they should all sing his parts, switching between them. Like bass player picks a song, guitarist picks another, ect.
Eddie Montgomery has a nephew that is becoming well-known and country music, Dillon Carmichael. He also has a brother that had several country hits, John Michael Montgomery.
I'm not sure if I had ever heard this song before or maybe I am just at a place where it hit me in the right place. I absolutely love not only the music and vocals (RIP Troy, gone way too soon), but the message.
This message has never been more important than now as we have become so divided, so sure we are right and "they" are wrong - and deserve to pay for it. Jesus taught us to hate the sin but love the sinner - sincerely. We all have our own roads to Damascus - hopefully we will see the light. (Too bad more music doesn't carry this weight any more.)
I remember when Oprah had her show, in the early years, she had an episode with KKK members, and they were as horrible as you would expect. But when she was bringing her show to an end, like 20 years later, two of those men returned and they were different people. They apologized for their past actions, for all the hurt they caused and when she asked one of them, what had made him change, he said it had been the grace of God that had changed him into a better man. So, change is possible.
Love this song and video! Pkease check Montgomery Gentry's song "Roll With Me". RIP Troy Gentry! He was killed in a helicopter crash a few years ago near where I live. 😢
Sebs incase you want to know: Pilot error following engine maintenance problems caused the helicopter crash that killed Montgomery Gentry singer Troy Gentry and the pilot at a small airport where he was to perform that night, federal investigators said. Eddie Montgomery always wore that hat and long coat.
These 2 are brother's the one playing the guitar and singing the chorus passed away in the same helicopter crash thay Colby Johnson the basketball star was in, May they R.I.P :(
Montgomery gentry had a long list of hits and even though Troy gentry passed away on sept. 8 2017 in a helicopter crash right before they were scheduled to preform, Eddie Montgomery (the one in the hat) still puts on shows and sings all of their greatest hits. He has kept the promise he made to Troy years ago, that if anything were to ever happen to either of them, the other would carry on their music. Eddie Montgomery is the brother of John Michael Montgomery who also had big hits in the 90s and early 2000s
Just some history for you these guy's started in 1999 this song came out in 2006 my senior year in high school I bought the CD when it came out I still have it to this day and I've seen them in concert once
Religion is one of humanity's most complicated creations. It's been a weapon used to justify oppression, genocide, among many other things, ruining countless lives. But it's also been a powerful source of healing for so many, helping people battle their demons, unlearn their bigotry, and generally become better human beings. I'm not a religious man myself, but I'll never judge anybody for whom Jesus or Allah or Budah or Thor or Wicca or whatever else is the vector for their self-improvement. If it's what gets you through the day, and you're not using it as a club to hurt others, power to you.
Montgomery Gentry was such a great group. They seemed to work well together and not one of these groups a record label put together. Eddie Montgomery(lead singer with hat) is the older brother of country music star John Michael Montgomery. It’s sad that Troy Gentry died in a helicopter accident prior to a concert back east. The scary thing about it is not long before the accident they had a conversation about what to do if one of them died and they decided that they would keep the band going somehow. An amazing song of theirs that doesn’t have a video I believe is called “20 years ago” has to do with a father and son. They also have a song called “I’ll Keep the Kids” talking about a family going through a divorce and what gets lost in the shuffle.
This song is great! It was on a Kenny Chesney album too. Edit: KC released this on "When the sun goes down" 2004. MG released song for radio single in 2006. KC had many other hits off thar album.
Unfortunately not all people can change. My grandma was married at one point to a man who went to prison in 2007 for SAing really young children who were his then wife's grandchildren. It was his second time being convicted of the same charges. He had several other victims he couldn't be charged for since it had been too long since he did it to them. He wasn't going to stop till he was in prison for life. He passed away in 2020 from complications of covid. He can never harm another child ever again. I was 1 of his victims but I don't remember it happening since I was so young (between 1 to 4 years old). His own daughter was also 1 of the victims that he couldn't be charged for.
Such AWESOME songs. I'm not religious at all, but I was raised Christian, I still absolutely adore those songs. Amazing Grace too. Always going to be some Christian songs I'll love forever, because they're songs period.
Nooooo, you've gone too far. B&D are the GOLD Standard, they wrote all their songs, M&G, right there, strong catalog for sure, but B&D IMO, had more range in their country more twang.
Yo, when will you understand that country music, they can tell a heart warming, or absolutely gut wrenching story in a 3-4 minute song. THATS Country! To have your emotions moved one or the other ✌🏽
The social scientists that try to figure out why people join hate groups and gangs and militia groups and so forth have found the reasons are often the same across the board; they are mostly young men looking for a family, a place to belong, and feel safe, and liked...many voice that they don't even buy into the ideologies, but they want to belong. So, perhaps what we need to do is give them a better place, and a chance, to belong.
The trick is to get to these vulnerable people before the villains do. Ideally, we'd have a society that's able to notice these symptoms and get these people help early, so they don't need to be extricated in the first place. Everybody deserves a chance to change and to be loved, but once somebody's in deep it can be difficult and dangerous to get them out. People have done it, absolutely, but, for instance, being nice to the KKK members so they'll stop being bigots isn't something I'd ever ask your average POC to do.
RIP TROY GENTRY.
RIP Troy
Was literally going to comment this. Rest easy T-Roy!
Yes. Definitely..still so sad and hurts to this day
Rip Troy smh
😢😢

That is a beautiful song. I’m not a huge country listener, so thanks for introducing me to it! Peace & love to all ❤
I knew a blk man that changed his thoughts toward whites as well. God can change any one if they let Him in!
Love and miss you Troy! Fly high my friend! 💔♥️ And Sebs, I can see and I so love your heart. So glad we can know you and your beautiful family through music.
I changed 24 years ago I threw the bottle down sober every since.
I was at this video shoot and talked with Troy and Eddie that night for a story I was writing. What a special night that was . . . and what a powerful video.
Troy Gentry we miss you!! And you know Eddie Montgomery & John Michael Montgomery are brothers. Both great voices ❤
I too wasn't much of a country fan but sharing in your journey of discovery has opened my eyes to the fact that they're not all "my wife left me, my dog died,and my gun jammed "soap operas. Many thanks to you and for your heartfelt reactions and for pointing me to artists worth listening to.
Thank you for keeping your heart open friend!
@@reneebush2399 People change.😊
But those song are also good too lol 😂 but people have different tastes
@@calebw3844 Thats one of the beauties of music, there's something for everyone. 😊
So sad Troy left this world too soon 💕 They had some great tunes!
As someone that fought addiction…still fights it…this one absolutely always gets to me and chokes me up. It honestly helped me so so much.
RIP Troy....beautiful song.
One of my favorite songs by them is Speed. I was a teenager when it came out and it's still a favorite in my 40s.
speed, fav song by Montgomery & Gentry, but, this is a banger, especially with the church choir
This song live was amazing ! RIP Troy you're greatly missed in this world❤
So many great songs from these guys….you need more 👍

Dillon Carmichael is absolutely AWESOME!! I discovered him on UA-cam! Yes Sir Mr Sebs, please react to Dillon Carmichael!
I'm not sure if I had ever heard this song before or maybe I am just at a place where it hit me in the right place. I absolutely love not only the music and vocals (RIP Troy, gone way too soon), but the message.

(Too bad more music doesn't carry this weight any more.)
I adore Darryl Davis! I wish his name were more widely known. He truly walks in the Light.
Troy had such a great voice! RIP
RIP Troy! We'll always love you.
RIP Troy Gentry ...my favorite song by Montgomery Gentry

I love that you're checking out the older genre of Country. Great reaction! ❤

Love this song and video! Pkease check Montgomery Gentry's song "Roll With Me". RIP Troy Gentry! He was killed in a helicopter crash a few years ago near where I live. 😢
WOW!! Why is this song not at the top of the charts! This is the first I’ve heard of this song and it is awesome!
I love this song and the video is just amazing. Such a great message. It has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it.
Sebs incase you want to know: Pilot error following engine maintenance problems caused the helicopter crash that killed Montgomery Gentry singer Troy Gentry and the pilot at a small airport where he was to perform that night, federal investigators said.

Powerful message! People can change. I did when I turned 45 and haven't looked back!!
Awesome!!! God bless 💜 🛐
Beautiful reaction ❤❤
Give their song "Tattoos and Scars" a try.
Rest in peace Troy gentry
❤
Awesome video, drive safe back to Utah through the mountain passes when you're done

serious chills up and down my body.
Miss you T-Roy !!!
My favorite MG song is "The Little Girl"......What a story!
That is Eddie Montgomery's brother John Michael Montgomery.
Absolutely recommend "Born For This" by Mandisa too.
Thats my guitar teacher on the black Les Paul. Eddie lives down the road from me.

I know its a long shot, 38 uears old Tragically Hip. They are The Canadian band.
RIP TROY!!!
Sebs try “Overcomer” by Mandisa. And then her “Good Morning”
Such AWESOME songs. I'm not religious at all, but I was raised Christian, I still absolutely adore those songs. Amazing Grace too. Always going to be some Christian songs I'll love forever, because they're songs period.
RIP TROY GENTRY!! And Montgomery is Michael Montgomery brother. I wonder where Michael went?!
Beautiful commentary, man.
nothing against Brooks and Dunn, but for me, MG was the best duo in country, still miss you T-Roy, RIP
Nooooo, you've gone too far.
B&D are the GOLD Standard, they wrote all their songs, M&G, right there, strong catalog for sure, but B&D IMO, had more range in their country more twang.
@scottstyles1986 MG was a true duo, they both sang, unlike B&D where Ronnie was lead on everything
RIP T-Roy
Welcome to Colorado..
Yo, when will you understand that country music, they can tell a heart warming, or absolutely gut wrenching story in a 3-4 minute song.
THATS Country!

Dude you look like Jimmy Fallon!
This was originally a Michael English song a really good ccm artist but Montgomery Gentry's version is better and yes Rip Troy..
