2 on the charts “Friends” and “How Was I to Know”. 1 hit with this release he did have two tracks that appeared at No. Thankfully the procedure went according to plan and Montgomery was back in 1996 to issue his 4th album “What I Do Best”. However a shadow seemed to lurk behind the successful string of releases and in late 1995 he announced he would be undergoing vocal surgery. Two of the songs on the album topped the charts and an additional 3 landed within the top 5. Montgomery proved himself to be one of the most consistently exciting figures in current country music with his self-titled 3rd studio album. The album spawned a total of 4 singles 3 of which became number 1 hits. His sophomore release “Kickin’ It Up” reached multi-platinum status and took the No.1 spot on both country and pop charts.

Montgomery’s studio debut acted as a forewarning taste of success to come. He released his studio debut “Life’s a Dance” in 1992 to commercial success, producing three charting singles with one of them “I Love the Way You Love Me” selected as the single of the year by the Academy of Country Music. It did not take Montgomery long at all to break into the Country mainstream. Montgomery went on to join his brother Eddie’s band, but the two later split off on separate paths with Eddie forming Montgomery Gentry with Troy Gentry and John heading out as a solo act. His family was musically inclined and his father who played in a local country band encouraged and taught his son how to play the guitar. Montgomery was born on 20 January 1965 in Danville, Kentucky, US and grew up in the nearby county, Garrard.
