Eddie Montgomery is ready to introduce himself as a solo artist, nearly four years since the death of his partner in Montgomery Gentry, Troy Gentry. “Alive and Well” is a deeply personal song that paints a clear picture of where Montgomery is in 2021.
Written by the singer with Ira Dean and Chris Wallin, the triumphant new track is partly inspired by the losses Montgomery has endured in his life, including the tragic death of his bandmate, Gentry, in 2017, and the loss of his 19-year-old son, Hunter Montgomery, in 2015. While the verses wrestle with hardship and loss, the track remains high-spirited, which is fitting for Montgomery’s message of keeping on.
Montgomery continues to tour with the Montgomery Gentry Band and will be on the road through September 29.
