Everything you need to know about Monte!
Okay, so I've been following Monte Montgomery for almost 10 years, and I own everything he's recorded, and a bunch of bootlegs besides. I've seen him live 8 times (which is a lot if you don't live in a common spot for him to visit, and I don't...). That being said, the one thing some people find is that they just don't "get" it until they see him live. It's the most amazing thing ever. If you get the chance...see him. Now, this new CD captures everything you need to know about Monte, so you can appreciate him even before you see him live. It's a culmination of everything he's ever done, stylistically, and by presentation, all in one disc. What I mean is, you get the great studio sound, solid fresh songwriting, a new version of an old song, a cover, and the live feel of a show, all in one studio release. I've already listened through it multiple times, and it's just early evening on the day of release, and I love it!!! Start to finish. Buy this album, and go see Monte live!!!!
Fantastic
Well, my "Monte Montgomery story" is pretty simple: My friend, who has no idea what it means to be a good musician, what good music is, any of that... he was the one who told me to get some Monte. Kinda shameful. I waited for at least a year. Then I bought "Mirror" and watched YouTube videos and... oh snap. I had the epiphany.
This man is an absolute show stealer. If I was a headlining show and he opened for me, I wouldn't play; I'd be to embarrassed. Plain and simple. He's soooooo unbelievably talented and sooooo humble and soooo original. He's got emotions and he's got a way to put them out there for people to relate to. Too bad he won't be in Denver any time soon.
My favorite number of his is still "When Will I," but I bought this album for a now-close-second favorite: "Could Have Loved You Forever." I watched a video of him and his band doing a live take of this in the studio and was awe-struck. Also on this album, "River" (the opener), "Let's Go," and "Moonlight Tango" all have nice Monte kick to them. And, of course, "Little Wing" is a display of raw talent. The way they enter with the drums and bass is frickin' phenomenal.
If you've ever been recommended to hear Monte, just sit down, shut up, and and listen. He's in my Top 5, and he ought to be in yours. (Cue the "High Fidelity" fans and haters.)
Guitar God!
Monte is one of the most talented guitarists/songwriters of our time. This is definately his strongest album. The last few he's released haven't been as good as I'd expected. This one is a must own. Killer guitar tone (as always) and fantastic vocals.
