I had the pleasure of meeting John Michael Montgomery and his mother (who lives about an hour away from me) at Fan Fair in Nashville, TN in 1995. This Kentucky native has proven that he has what it takes to make beautiful music. His songs have such strength behind them. He makes you feel the music even if you don't consciously want to.

With hits such as "I Swear", "Beer And Bones" and "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)" you can see the wide array of talent this man has. He is true to his roots (his father, the late Harold Montgomery, recorded one song and was able to be on stage with his youngest son before he passed away) and is very proud of that fact.

If you ever get a chance, make sure you read all you can about his beginnings. It will make you feel blessed to have what you have. He's living proof that anyone can make their dreams come true.

You're in for a pleasant surprise when you listen to this compilation of his greatest hits. It's the best of the past all rolled into one.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
