John Michael Montgomery has turned an uncanny ability to relate to fans into one of country music's most storied careers. Behind the string of hit records, the roomful of awards and the critical and fan accolades that have defined his phenomenal success lies a connection that goes beyond his undeniable talent and his proven knack for picking hits. Since the days when "Life's A Dance" turned him from an unknown artist into a national star, John Michael’s rich baritone has carried that most important of assets--believability. Few artists in any genre sing with more heart than this handsome Kentucky-born artist.
It is readily apparent in love songs that have helped set the standard for a generation. Songs like “I Swear,” “I Love the Way You Love Me” and “I Can Love You Like That” still resonate across the landscape--pop icon and country newcomer Jessica Simpson cited “I Love The Way You Love Me” as an influence in a recent interview. It is apparent in the 2004 hit “Letters From Home,” one of the most moving tributes to the connection between soldiers and their families ever recorded, and in “The Little Girl,” a tale of redemption that plumbs both the harrowing and the uplifting. It is apparent even in the pure fun that has always found its way into John Michael's repertoire--songs like “Be My Baby Tonight” and “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident),” where John Michael's vocal earnestness takes musical whimsy to another level.
Now, with the release of Time Flies, which he co-produced with Byron Gallimore, John Michael takes another big step forward, strengthening his position as one of the most versatile and compelling vocalists on the country scene. With songs like "Forever" and "If You Ever Went Away," he proves he is still the master of the power ballad, a man capable of bringing honest emotion to life in song. He brings his ever-present sense of humor to bear on "With My Shirt On" and "Mad Cowboy Disease," songs with wickedly skewed sensibilities. With songs like "Drunkard's Prayer" and "All In A Day" he explores two dramatic facets of human existence, and with "Brothers Till The End," John Michael celebrates the family background that led both him and his brother Eddie, of Montgomery Gentry, from a small-time family band to the top of the charts.

mr. montgomery, im a huge fan of yours, regretably ive never been to a concert of yours. i love almost all of the songs youve written. but the song that stands out to me the most, is the song you made in 2004 in the first leg of the war, letters from home, that song stands out to me because of how powerful it is, it has an incredible meaning behind the lyrics that most people will never understand. i just wanted to let you know that i love your work. keep makin your kind of country and ill deffinatly keep listening to it. thank you for your time.
May 2010 be a better year for all of us! The very best of Holidays to you and yours from Nashville! Jimmy Roberts - Songwriter / Pedal Steel Guitarist :)
Well, Mr. Montgomery Thanks for booking a concert at Tunica I am very happy about that and I do plan on going, just not very happy that I have to sit in the upper level because only the high rollers get to sit down on the floor. I have tried every thing I know to do but, I guess I will just be lucky to get to see you and hear you for a early Birthday Present. My Birthday will be Jan. 21 and my Husband said just go ahead and book them. So, I will see ya then from up in the upper level which is better than nothing at all... PEACE to you and see and hear ya on Jan. 09.
