Monte Montgomery’s version of “Little

You can call it prescient or
predetermined, but when Terry Lickona, undisputed tastemaker and
producer of Austin City Limits, plucked a then relatively unknown
guitar talent to tape a segment of the legendary show, one had the
sense that this was just the beginning.

Since that jaw dropping performance,
Monte Montgomery has embarked on an almost fantasy like rock and
roll roller coaster ride filled with dizzying accomplishments and

Players
by Guitar Player Magazine,
hes
been called everything from
a guitar-god
to the answer
to the Fermi
Paradox

With the release of his latest CD
Monte
Montgomery
is cementing his place as not just some blazingly electrified
acoustic guitar playing freak of nature, but also a rare and true
triple threat; songwriter, singer and master musician.

The end result, in a day of
homogenized, digitalized, and processed music, is that this new
project stands out as a throw back to the great pop rock records of
the past. Recorded live at the legendary Masterlink Studio, the
textured, deep, rich, nuanced and just plain rocking 12 tracks run
the gamut, showcasing
Monte�s
stylistic diversity beginning with the opening album track
ââ??Riverââ?¬ÂÂ,
an almost primal seven minute dark bluesy roots rocker, and ending
with
ââ?¬Å?Midlife
Matineeââ?¬ÂÂ
a wistful ballad that soulfully explores the turning points and
crossroads of life, love and loss.

It was the eventual move to Austin
where you could say he earned his musical baccalaureate from that
city�s
highly competitive music scene (earning him seven consecutive
Austin Music Awards). That led to the current fulfillment of his
musical destiny; a dedicated fan base, critical acclaim and an ever
growing touring circuit in the U.S. and Europe.
It�s
no wonder that when Terry Lickona introduced him on that Austin
City
Limits�
stage some years ago he uttered these words: “Monte Montgomery
blows people away. There is no other way to describe
it.”
