Danny Tate and I tried to write today. Got distracted by lunch, but I have a song to record tonight………Ken Coomer, Shawn Byrne, and Danny White will be the band……..called the session for 9:30pm. I know.
Mike Esser and I like to work late……..we are recording “I Will Love You Anyway” and will try to write one in the studio on the fly.
I asked Ken Coomer if he was cool with that……and he said, “are you kidding? I was in Wilco”……..he said it was a pretty common for that to transpire.
working on "I Will Love You Anyway"..........
So, join us if you want through the live feed. And, please think about pre-ordering the cd. I will start streaming at 9pm and let you hear our progress so far……….
Or here is the embedded link…….but if you want to chat, or see the chat…….I would follow the other link. What you will view right now is the show from last week…….it will go away the moment we go live at 9:oopm London time: Streaming .TV shows by Ustream

We are honing in on things here at 16 Ton Studios in Nashville. John Hobbs is coming back in at 6pm tonight to record another song i’m writing. He is in the studio right now producing the new Vince Gill cd, but is making time to come and help me with this record. I’m blessed. I have amazing friends, and that includes you guys and gals.
Everyone who has pre-ordered their cd has their part in making this record. I’m thankful. That is the theme that keeps coming up in my mind……..
Ok……gotta go write the ever elusive 3rd verse!!!!! Again…………..
So, join us tonight in the studio….see details below. Please think about pre-ordering the cd…..this stuff is expensive. Most nights about 800 folks tune into a “live stream”……..if everyone tipped $10……..that would go a long way toward paying for this record. If you pre-order your cd that is even better, but tipping is great! Tonight, you will literally be taken into a pretty private session, and will hear everything that we are discussing over the talkback. If you went to a bar and saw a band that you liked…..you might tip them? So, think of it in that context, and join us tonight…….you don’t HAVE to tip, but it would help! Ok, enough of that……….directions on how to tune in below.
Danny White listening to "Some Comfort"......
You can always watch, but if you want to “chat” via the chatroom, then I think you will need to create a profile with Ustream.tv……which takes about 5 minutes. Some of the most fun is had in the chat room while the broadcast is going on………you can find me show at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/kevin-montgomery-s-50-states-in-50-days If you’d like to tip (all monies applied to recording the new record and anything $25 will be seen as a pre-order)….you can do Attend This Event, or right here on this website via paypal….here.

Share We are less than 24 hours away from Danny Tate’s next hearing tomorrow morning, Friday, June 11th. Yes, he was “freed”, but the legal onslaught continues from the other side.

Share I made a discovery this past couple of months-a Facebook “group” is the best way to bring people together for a common cause. I watched as friendships formed on the “Friends for Danny Tate’s Defense” Facebook group wall. People connected. It was electric. So, I formed the “I Support Kevin Montgomery’s 50 States in [...]
