Montgomery Gentry
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
At long last, sunshine finally visited the mud-encrusted Kicks 101.5 stage in time for Montgomery Gentry’s set early Sunday night. With substantial sound bleed coming from Def Leppard across the park, the country duo had its work cut out for them.
And then threatening skies returned and not even free Hooters beachballs could distract a sizable crowd that was kept waiting for more than 30 minutes because of “technical difficulties.” So it helped that comic Larry the Cable Guy was brought out to introduce the act.
Faster than you could say “Get er done!” the guys blasted onstage with “Gone” from the MG album “You Do Your Thing,” and “She Couldn’t Change Me.” Clad in black leather, jeans and hats, country’s resident tough guys gave off plenty of heat from the stage.
“The party officially starts now!” they assured the crowd before blasting into the barroom bawl, “Lonely and Gone.” Singing “We’re gonna be a tough act to follow,” MG proved precisely that. The act was the last band booked on the Kicks stage Sunday night.
