It’s been a few months since the release of Montgomery Gentry‘s “Rebels On The Run” on Average Joe’s Entertainment, but the duo are still looking for the winner of their Demented Cycle “golden ticket”. Somewhere in a physical copy of the album is a “golden ticket” which gives the fan a custom Demented Cycle motorcycle designed by the pair themselves!

“Rebels On The Run” is still available at all physical album outlets. Maybe a lucky fan somewhere will get the Willy Wonka-esque surprise Christmas morning.

What are you hoping to get for Christmas this year?

Montgomery Gentry are back in a big way today, releasing their first album together since 2009 and their first on Average Joe’s Entertainment. The duo left their former home at Columbia after creative differences between themselves and the label, which lead to an entire project being shelved permanently.

The new album, in stores and available digitally today, features the fastest-moving single of their career “Where I Come From.”

“They (Average Joe’s) told me and T, ‘Ya’ll go in and make a Montgomery Gentry record and bring it back,’” Eddie recently told Nashville.com. “It took me back to the days of Tattoos and Scars. We just had a blast bein’ in the studio with Michael (Knox) and finding songs, cuttin’ the songs . . .”

“Rebels On The Run” was produced by Michael Knox, whose previous producer credits include work with Jason Aldean, Kelly Clarkson, Trace Adkins, Hank Williams Jr., and many others.

Included with every physical copy purchased of the album is a chance to win a custom Demented Choppers motorcycle designed by Eddie and Troy. One album will contain a golden ticket. That’s one way to keep sales up!

In what seems like a real-life version of Willy Wonka, the boys of Montgomery Gentry are planning on rewarding their fans by giving them a chance to win a custom motorcycle. In one of the pre-ordered copies of their album, one jewel case will contain a golden ticket. That fan will win a one-of-a-kind Demented Cycles motorcycle from the duo. Both Troy and Eddie had input in the design of the bike. Pretty neat!

Pre-orders for “Rebels On The Run” start September 26th on the band’s official website. It’s the first studio album from the pair in three years and will be released on Average Joe’s Entertainment.

Montgomery Gentry and Average Joe’s Entertainment have announced a release date for the duo’s new album “Rebels On The Run.” The 11-song album will be available October 4th, 2011 from the independent powerhouse Average Joe’s Entertainment. Member Eddit Montgomery was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, which fortunately is now in remission after being caught early.

“In a lot of ways the past year has been has been nothing but hell,” said Eddie Montgomery. “Man, without T-Roy and my family, this music, our fans and the Man upstairs, I don’t know how I would’ve gotten through it.”

“I don’t know if we would have made the same album if we hadn’t been through everything we’ve been through in the last year,” added Troy. “We’ve always tried to record songs about things we’ve lived or seen, but the depth of all of those experiences really comes out in this album.”

The group made the biggest change of their careers by leaving their home of Columbia Nashville for Average Joe’s Entertainment. Average Joe’s encouraged Eddie and Troy to “go in and make some Montgomery Gentry music” with producer Michael Knox. Knox’s past credits include Kelly Clarkson, Jason Aldean, Trace Adkins, Hank Williams Jr., and many others. They focused on bringing back the music that they first came into music city with that earned them the love from their fans in the first place.

Eddie and Troy collaborated with Ira Dean, Jim Collins, Wendell Mobley, David Lee Murphy, Rivers Rutherford, and Neil Thrasher with three tracks on “Rebels On The Run.” Rodney Clawson and Dallas Davidson co-wrote the lead single from the album, “Where I Come From.” Friends Greg Bates, Kelly Archer, Kevin Grantt, and Justin Weaver contributed to the rest of the songs on the record.

Montgomery Gentry are on tour this week with shows in California, Las Vegas and Colorado. The duo were inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2009 and they will return to the historic stage September 13th. They are also set to headline the 28th Annual Love Ride Motorcycle Ride with Jay Leno on October 23rd just outside Los Angeles.
