Four years apart has not loosened the bond between Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry. Gentry died in a Sept. 2017 helicopter crash, but Montgomery says he still feels him in his heart and soul. That manifested on Ain’t No Closing Me Down, his first solo album. Eddie had previously been hesitant to open his heart as a songwriter, but several songs from this project show a more vulnerable man’s perspective. “As I was writing the songs, I think he was helping me,” the 58-year-old says. “I think he’s always helping me.” “Help” takes on many forms, however. “When we’re on the shows, I mean I’ve had stuff happen man, I’m going, ‘OK, that’s T-Roy pulling a prank,'” Montgomery admits. “Like going out and the PA just shuts off. I’m going, ‘What? Ah, that’s T-Roy man, letting us know.’
