NEW VIDEO RELEASED TO VIDEO OUTLETS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – August 18, 2008 – Country music hitmaker John Michael Montgomery releases his tenth studio album, Time Flies, on October 14, 2008. Produced by Montgomery and famed producer Byron Gallimore, Time Flies marks the first release for Montgomery’s flagship label, Stringtown Records, and will be accompanied by radio visits, in-store events, media interviews, contest promotions, a special event with the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and more.
Coinciding with the release of the single, “If You Ever Went Away,” Montgomery hired director and fellow Kentuckian Jason Epperson (from Steven Spielberg’s “The Lot”) to produce the video. It’s currently in rotation on GAC (Great American Country) and CMT (Country Music Television) Pure Country as well as streaming on both networks’ websites and Montgomery’s YouTube site, www.youtube.com/jmichaelmontgomery. Each outlet has been given exclusive behind the scenes photos as well.
Time Flies is an eleven song collection featuring one song co-written by Montgomery, “Brothers Till the End.” According to Montgomery the album was aptly named becoming a sort of retrospective look at his career. “I took themes from different eras of my career along with sounds that influenced me over my life to create this album. There are the serious songs, some with tongue-in-cheek humor, a little romance as well as some that reflect a philosophical side. You’ll hear influences from the Eagles to Lionel Richie to traditional country.” The album can be heard in its entirety at www.digitalrodeo.com/johnmichaelmontgomery.
Stringtown Records begins a presale on the album beginning September 1 on Montgomery’s website. Fans purchasing the album during the following eight weeks will be entered into a contest with the winner receiving an autographed John Michael Montgomery guitar, a photo album filled with performance photos, a pair of Dan Post Boots and a Wrangler gift certificate for a free pair of jeans.
Fans can catch up with John Michael Montgomery by tuning in to GAC throughout the month of October. They’ll be airing interviews on programs such as “GAC Nights,” “The Collection,” “Master Series,” and “On the Streets.” He also sat down with Country Weekly for an exclusive interview for their November 3 issue.
With a musical career that spans nine studio albums and three greatest hits packages, John Michael’s contribution to the country music format includes hits such as “I Swear,” “Be My Baby Tonight,” “I Can Love You Like That,” “Sold (the Grundy County Auction Incident)” and “Life’s A Dance,” among many others. He’s earned 15 number one singles, sold over 16 million albums, enjoyed cross-over success in the pop and R&B market, and received numerous industry and fan-voted awards, including CMA Awards, ACM Awards and American Music Awards. His last single at radio, “Letters from Home,” (2004) reached #2 on Billboard’s Country Singles chart. Montgomery works with booking agency Buddy Lee Attractions and continues to tour heavily.
