I stayed up most of the night syncing the audio with the video on “Red-Blooded American Boy”………I wanted it for today since it is Fourth of July in America. Happy Birthday America! You aren’t perfect, but nothing is.

We now have 11 days to go in the campaign to raise the funds to make Good Thing. I’m excited about this record. I want to breathe life into these songs. I need your help. So, as a special thanks for putting up with me over the past couple of weeks…….I’ve discounted the “perks” for the Fourth of July weekend. See if there is something that interests you……….I’m excited to have True and Another Long Story available as a “Perk” and also………being that it is July 4th weekend………maybe a few of you will be interested in a house concert type event like one of the “Backyard Concert” perks.

Ok, so here is the “Red-Blooded American Boy” video from Fear Nothing-my 1993 debut on A&M Records. Editing it deep into the night brought up so many emotions…………I was literally back there on the day we shot it. All the feelings of insecurity and being out of my depth crept in, but also the good feelings of being 23 and getting the opportunity to make Fear Nothing with so many of the world’s greatest musicians, and getting to work with the great Ed Cherney-rest in peace.

All roads led me to here………and I feel lucky. Click here to go to the Indiegogo Campaign for Good Thing.

Been writing with Beth Neilson Chapman, Graham Gouldman from 10cc, Grace Pettis, Robert Vincent, and the lovely Kelli Jones over the past couple of years. I’ve got the songs…….phone calls have gone out to Garry Tallent, Bob Britt, and others……Dylan and Springsteen aren’t on the road……so Bob and Garry are available. Let’s make a record. I need your help! I kicked off a campaign to make it happen. Go to the campaign page and check out the perks!

Update- Good Thing will now be available in VINYL!!!!!!!! I missed the vinyl thing even on my debut on A&M in 1993. Now……I’m finally going for it. View the vinyl options.

Last week’s live broadcast……….

Tune in this Sunday, 8:30pm London time.………that’s 2:30pm Nashville time for another live broadcast from my dining room. I’ll have a special guest joining me during the webcast……….you are going to love him. You can tune in at on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/kevinmontgomeryes

There are simply no words for what is going on right now. We lost Joe Diffie and so many sweet souls to the virus.

I’m going to refrain from saying too much, but I cannot imagine that the world will not start back up in earnest by December, so therefore, after speaking to the respective venues we’ve moved all shows to early December.

I hope you can come to a show. God bless and take care.

The UK/Ireland tour has begun. I’m joined by Louisiana’s Kelli Jones violin and vocals and Gregor Philp from Deacon Blue on guitar. Last night in Brighton Kelli slayed me with a few of her songs. And, I love singing with her.

I became aware of a song Dad wrote called “Two of a Kind” a few years ago. A man came up to me after a show and handed me a cd of songs that I had never heard. Turns out he recorded it with my mom as “Bob and Carol” on Warner Brothers Records, but it was never released. Roy Orbison did a version, but I prefer mom and dad’s…….it is hauntingly beautiful.

I’ve never done it live, but decided to try it with Kelli. This is from our rehearsal a couple of nights ago. We will do it on the tour now.
