Back When I Knew it All (Columbia Nashville): B+
Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry just might be the finest duo in country music today. After 2006’s too-soft change of pace, “Some People Change,” the Nashville heavy-hitters and their band rekindle the fire on this raucous, rocking return. The Byrds-like title cut is the band’s fastest-climbing single yet and it’s a pip. Even better are the witty “Long Line of Losers,” the Toby Keith-assisted “I Pick My Parties” and the tale of a hard-drinking man’s man “One in Every Crowd.” Download: “Look Some More.”
