The two-time CMA Award winner arrives with a resume full of accolades and hits. Few artists have the career the Kentucky-born singer has had:

It is readily apparent in love songs that the artist has helped set the standard for a generation. Songs like “I Swear,” “I Love the Way You Love Me” and “I Can Love You Like That” still resonate across the landscape.

Montgomery’s repertoire also includes the hits that are pure fun like “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident).” The song topped the Billboard charts in 1995.
