Written by Bobby Pinson (“All I Want to Do,” “It Happens,” “Made in America”), Jami Grooms, Mark McGuinn, Rusty Tabor, and produced by Nick Gibbens, the single reflects common themes of self-discovery, loss, and resilience, resonating with those who have faced the highs and lows of life.

Highlights on the album include the first love song Montgomery has ever written inspired by his wife, “She Loves Me;” “Higher, “a standout duet” (Forbes) with country music icon Tanya Tucker; “My Son,” the featured theme song in the new movie, “Old Henry,” which “quickly transformed into a far more personal narrative” (People.com) when Montgomery joined Noah Gordon to co-write the song; and “Alive and Well,” “about resilience in the face of adversity (Rolling Stone).” “Love and loss, the importance of parenting, and strong values pervade the collection. (Country Standard Time).”

Eddie Montgomery pays tribute to his late Montgomery Gentry bandmate, Troy Gentry, on his first solo album Ain’t No Closing Me Down.

It’s also Montgomery’s first set of new music in two years.

Gentry died in a helicopter crash in 2017, and Montgomery says his bandmate inspired many of the songs on Ain’t No Closing Me Down and the decision to continue releasing musicThe Grand Ole Opry members and Kentucky Music Hall of Famers made a promise to one another long ago to keep the Montgomery Gentry name alive.

“I told T-Roy, me and him sat down [and decided] … if anything ever happens to either one of us, we said we want the other one to keep the MG brand going,” Montgomery tells me. “We both promised each other and I'm keeping my promise.”

Eddie Montgomery’s Debut Solo Album Started With a Garage Party That Never Quit

Eddie Montgomery invited a few friends over for beers and burgers, and before he knew it, the local golf course was using his garage as a concession stand and he was holding his debut solo album in his hand. The party, needless to say, got a bit out of control.

A short equipment inventory at Eddie's Garage (oh yes, it has a name) includes every kind of grill you can think of (Little Green Egg, Big Green Egg, Blackstone griddle, etc.), several televisions, a dartboard and a disco ball.

Ira Dean, Jeffrey Steele and Chris Wallin were a few of his quarantine friends who'd stop by regularly, and before long, the group started putting song ideas to paper. Ain't No Closing Me Down includes a love song about "my smokin' hot wife" called "She Just Loves Me" and a song called "My Son" that Montgomery penned for a movie titled Old Henry. Amid all this revelry, Montgomery actually accessed deeper emotions than ever before. He'll tell you he's not very good at expressing his feelings, but this new one does more than all right.
