The powerful new song “My Son” by Eddie Montgomery has assisted the singer in letting go of some of the past pain he had been holding inside for “a long time.” He is convinced that everything that happened had a purpose.
The Montgomery Gentry singer has experienced his fair share of bad luck. When he was three years old, in a car accident, and in 2015, when he was 19 years old, in a drug overdose.
After losing his musical partner and best friend Troy Gentry in a helicopter crash in 2017, Montgomery claims that writing “My Son” has helped him deal with his grief.
According to Montgomery, “helping to relieve some of the pain I’d been carrying around for a long time” was the purpose of this song. At first, it was challenging, but for some reason, it was beneficial.
“Many of us love people and work to keep our private lives hidden, but when you’re hurting a little, that hurt may emerge through a pencil — and then you know you’ve got to let it out. The same thing I did.
Montgomery and Noah Gordon collaborated on the song “My Son,” which appears in the most recent Western film Old Henry. ”. Initially, the movie served as his source of inspiration for the lyrics; however, as he wrote the music, the lyrics evolved and became more personal.
I’ll make a promise not to lie to you.
I believe T-Roy and my sons contributed to the composition of this song, says Montgomery. ”. They assisted me in getting to its center, where it went straight through my arm and into my hands. It strikes me as being a very sentimental song.
On Montgomery’s upcoming solo record, Ain’t No Shutting Me Down, the song “My Son” will be featured. The Wild Bunch, Montgomery Gentry’s 20-year backing band, also makes an appearance on the album, and Tanya Tucker makes a brief cameo on the single “Higher.”.
Montgomery claims that even though it is still his solo debut, the new album respects Gentry’s legacy.
Troy has been by my side and will remain so. He claimed in a press release that “He Helped Me Write This Record.”. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the weekend party were all topics for songs I wrote with some of my best writing friends.
