Headliner:

• Montgomery Gentry Ft. Eddie Montgomery

Montgomery Gentry's Eddie Montgomery is having a good time â€" and it shows.


As one of the most recognizable voices in a generation of country singers, Montgomery continues to tour coast-to-coast behind a time-tested collection of rowdy and heartfelt songs. That collection grows with the new release â€" Home Run, a six-song EP that includes hard-workin' stories, fatherly wisdom, brotherly appreciation and a boot-stomping reworking of Montgomery Gentry's first single "Hillbilly Shoes."


With five No. 1 country radio hits, a Grand Ole Opry membership and a Kentucky Music Hall of Fame induction under his belt as part of Montgomery Gentry, the man in the hat shows no signs of slowing down. After all, why would anyone walk away from a dream-come-true?


Home Run debuted Nov. 1 via Average Joes Entertainment. Ahead of the release, Montgomery unleashed a 25th anniversary edition of "Hillbilly Shoes," a signature country-rocker originally released as Montgomery Gentry's first single and the opening track of the duo's debut album Tattoos & Scars.


The song comes as part of a promise Montgomery and his partner Troy Gentry once made to each other â€" if one of them ever passed away, the other would carry on the Montgomery Gentry legacy. Sadly, Gentry died in a 2017 helicopter crash.


Alongside his new take on "Hillbilly Shoes," the EP includes a can't-miss cast of collaborators and co-writers, such as powerhouse Music Row hitmakers Ashley Gorley and Bobby Pinson, breakout singer-songwriter Bryan Martin and his brother John Michael Montgomery, among others.


For the release, Montgomery also offers a duet that can only be shared between kin â€" "Brotherly Love," a taste of country nostalgia featuring John Michael Montgomery, Eddie Montgomery's younger brother. The two grew up surrounded by music, from kids watching their parents gig at local nightclubs to playing in bands together as teenagers and beyond.
