After the tragic death of Troy Gentry in September of 2017, surviving Montgomery Gentry member Eddie Montgomery is moving forward with plans to release the duo’s final project, Here’s to You, early in 2018.
Montgomery and Gentry completed Here’s to You shortly before Gentry was killed in a helicopter crash on Sept. 8 in New Jersey. Two months after his death, Montgomery announced the release of the new album in a tweet to fans: “I know it’s been a while, but it has been a very emotional time, but you will be hearing from [me] soon,” he wrote. “Our new music is coming out, and I hope you’ll give it a listen. Me and T-Roy were very proud of this new CD.”
