Montgomery Gentry has repeatedly topped the country charts with an unabashedly traditional brand of country-rock that keeps one foot firmly planted on each side of the genre's fence. Celebrating the classic Southern virtues of unflinching patriotism and small-town pride, the duo puts a positive spin on the redneck-rebel image of artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr., delivering a sound that's equally at home in the barn dance and the biker bar. On YOU DO YOUR THING, Montgomery Gentry brings its down-home sentiments even closer to the fore. The title track serves as something of a conservative manifesto, with Eddie Montgomery proclaiming his intention to pray, spend money, and engage in corporal punishment whenever and however he pleases. Similarly, "It's All Good" applauds a small community's staunch defense of the simple life in the face of encroaching modernity. Meanwhile, the duo is backed by an earthy melange of raging guitars, booming drums, and weepy steel, all of which lend the singers' sentiments a forceful authenticity.
Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - In this duo's hands, country is like a sport: Montgomery Gentry's best songs sound like stadium cheers - raucous and unruly.
Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 5 - [T]hese Kentucky boys have lit up the country charts for the past few years with a combination of bravado and pristinely hooky tunes.
