Details Release Date: Apr 06, 1999; Lead Performance: Montgomery Gentry; Genre: Country

This Kentucky duo, made up of Eddie Montgomery (John Michael's brother) and Troy Gentry, play what they call "pure whupass country," a testosterone-laden brand of hooky, hardcore fare spiced with heavy Southern rock. "Hillbilly Shoes," a rowdy declaration of backwoods pride propelled by searing electric guitars, is already making tracks at radio. Maybe country's done been polite too long. B
