Over the past few months, me and T-Roy have been working on what I think is the best record of our career. In the last few weeks we had been talking about what our first single would be. Then on September 8th, none of that mattered.”

Montgomery performed publicly for the first time since the incident at this week’s CMA Awards as a surprise guest. He joined Dierks Bentley and Rascal Flatts for the duo’s “My Town,” which paid tribute to his singing partner and brother of 30 years.
