Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"An Amazing Monte Montgomery...he's the complete package: strong vocals,terrific guitar playing, standout songs. To put it simply, the guy is the most electrifying acoustic guitarist around, whose sound (a round, silvery tone) and approach fuse blues, rock,folk and jazz. He pulls out the tricks (harmonics, thumb popping, fret tapping, deft picking, bluesy bends, and so on) but he uses them to build solos, not to hide behind... extremely impressive...Montgomery, at this early stage (he's just released his debut CD, 1st and Repair, which you should get, like, now)is already a singular talent."
