Montgomery Gentry Celebrates Triple Win
Tuesday afternoon (Aug. 3), a party celebrating Montgomery Gentry's first No. 1 single ("If You Ever Stop Loving Me"), its fastest-certified gold album (You Do Your Thing) and the gold certification of You Do Your Thing -- The DVD. Eddie Montgomery, dressed hat-to-boots in black, and Troy Gentry, clad in a white, long-sleeved shirt and jeans, then came forward to accept their BMI trophies. There followed a cascade of other awards, including one from the music trade publication Radio & Records certifying that during the week of June 25 this year, "If You Ever Stop Loving Me" was the "most heard song in America." Gentry beckoned his wife out of the crowd to share his awards and to thank her for her support. "There's a lot of lonely nights at home," he said as he handed her a plaque. In a plaque to his spouse, Montgomery joked, "She's going to tell me where to hang [the awards] in the house anyway." Said Gentry, "It takes a lot of tolerance for them to put up with us." Montgomery agreed, but added, "When we're back home for four or five days, they're on our ass to get back on the road."
