I have just started to get into country music but I must say this is my favorite album so far. Not a weak song on this cd at all.

1. Something To Be Proud Of - 3/5: good but not great
2. You Do Your Thing - 4/5: Great song, weak lyrics
3. If You Ever Stop Loving Me- 5/5: Excellent, the reason I bought the cd
4. If It's the Last Thing I Do- 5/5: Rock n roll country style. Another excellent song, very catchy. If its made a single it will do great.
5. She Loved Me - 4/5: Good song, slow though
6. Gone - 5/5: Great strong song
7. All I Know About Mexico - 5/5: Good quality, definitely one of my favorites
8. I Got Drunk - 5/5: Kinda bluesy, funny, and true too for all the guys out there with a woman
9. Its All Good - 5/5: Slower, great song
10. I Ain't Got It All That Bad - 5/5: Beautiful song
11. Talking To My Angel - Slow, acoustic song,another very beautiful and touching song
12. I Never Thought I'd Live This Long - 5/5: Definitely my first or second favorite song on the entire cd. Slow and powerful.

In short, if you love country, you would love this cd. If you love rock you probably would like this cd too. I think this cd is pretty much for everyone.

Montgomery Gentry's fourth album finds them still rockin and rollin country style, but with a bit more of a sentimental edge...and it's quite possibly their best yet.

Yeah, there's still overpowering masculinity (not a bad thing). "Gone" is a hard-edged tribute to a love lost, while the southern-rock flavored title track is a "leave me alone" anthem.

Yet, sensitivity abounds. "She Loved Me" and "Something to Be Proud Of" are both moving and reminiscent. Even the first single, "If You Ever Stop Loving Me"--which tells of a rough-and-tumble outlaw--shows that behind every man is a supportive woman.

"You Do Your Thing" is a superb CD from this duo. Eddie and Troy know what their fans like, and they deliver...and yet, the music they make is GOOD. They're both incredible singers, even though they haven't yet scored a #1. This CD might rememdy that, because it's just what radio's been needing: commercially-successful outlaw music. You go on and do your thing, and purchase this album; there'll be no regrets about it, I promise.

This is by far one of the best cd's put out this year, Eddie and Troy have definately found their groove and they are working it 100%. There is not one song on this album that woulod be considered filler music, this is a top notch release. They have even thrown in a couple of ballads, one co written by Troy Gentry, and the lyrical work here is great. It doesn't hurt that the guys went with multiple producers to complete this album, very cool. With Jeffrey Steele and Rivers Rutherford penned songs, this album can only be a success, no matter which way you look at it. Brooks and Dunn, it's time for you to hang your hats, put the boots in the closet, sit back with a cold one and take some pointers from Montgomery Gentry, THIS IS THEIR YEAR..... Buy this album, you will not regret it.

I wasn't even planning on buying this CD. I just happened to see it at Target one time for $10, so I bought it. My favorite songs are "Gone", "If You Ever Stop Loving Me", "If It's the Last Thing I Do", and "She Loved Me". "If It's the Last Thing I Do" sounds quite a bit like the Brooks & Dunn version, but I think MG's is better :)
The only song I have a gripe about is "I Got Drunk". It's really stupid to me, but that's just my opinion. Good tune, bad lyrics.
MG really put their heart and feeling in this CD, and it shows. They made some GREAT songs on this one.
All in all, You Do Your Thing is an AWESOME Cd. It's got some real gems, as well as the great songs you hear on the radio like "Gone". It's a MUST HAVE for any country collection!

The duo known as "Montgomery Gentry" have never pretended to be anything more than they are...down to earth country boys that understand the working man/women. In their new CD "You Do Your Thing" they reach out to those fans and have made alot more. The first single off the CD.."If You Ever Stop Loving Me", showed the guys how they truely are, fast paced, fun loving guys..then came the title track...that song made me feel like it was okay to wave my flag again...The CD continues to show the range of Eddie and Troy..with all the talk of not being able to pull off a ballad..Eddie nails it with "She Loved Me", one of the most beautifully performed tracks on the CD...the rest of the CD speaks for itself...from the track with Hank Jr. "I Ain't Got It All That Bad' to my personal favorite "Gone"..I would say that with this being their 4th album...they only seem to be getting better with time and #5 should prove to be even more impressive...Montgomery Gentry has put the southern rock back into country and I am sure that they will not disapppoint if you go out and buy this CD....

The latest Montgomery Gentry CD "You Do Your Thing" was excellent! Some of the newer country CD's I have purchased have just a few songs that I like. Every single song on "You Do Your Thing" is simply amazing. There is such a variety of different meanings with their songs to mix up your feelings for Country music. I specially like the song "I Got Drunk". That is the trademark to us country boys in the Midwest! The best thing about this CD was it was released on my birthday last year. It was the very first thing I bought on my birthday. I had been anticipating May 18, 2004 for some time! I also made sure I bought the "You Do Your Thing" DVD that came out on April 20, 2004.

Montgomery Gentry is by far my favorite country music duo. I am a member of the fan club on their official website. I first attended one of their concerts at National FFA Convention in Louisville, KY in 2001. I also got the pleasure of seeing them at the Missouri State Fair in 2004 with Gary Allan. I currently have tickets to see them at the Country Fever Fest in Pryor, OK in June. I currently own and love every single one of their CD's, but feel "You Do Your Thing" is one of the best! I am looking forward to many more new CD's that they will be coming out with!!!

Yet again, Montgomery Gentry has come through with a diverse album for all tastes. There are hard-rocking songs like "If You Ever Stop Loving Me" and "Gone." One the flip side, there are sweet songs like "Talking to My Angel." There are also songs that we've all come to expect from Montgomery Gentry, for instance "Something to be Proud of," which is a wonderful Montomery Gentry take-pride-in-all-you-do song. Other notables are "If it's the Last thing I do" and "I Got Drunk," which should be the anthem of Montogmery Gentry fans worldwide. Overall, this is the best Montgomery Gentry has put out. Congrats on a great album!

I tried but couldn't get into this music album. Way too country for me and nothing memorable. If you like country you might find it OK but it just wasn't for me.

This CD is a great, solid country album. It's got some really good songs on it. I would recommend it.

You do your thing is the followup to the charted selling cd "My Town". Another breath of fresh air from Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry.
Showing their influences of country,Southern Rock, and of all thing rap (record scratch in "If you ever stopped loving me") The duo pull it off this go around and make for a really enjoyable cd the whole thing thru. Unfortunately, M&G has a habit of slacking on songs toward the end of the cd (namely on "Carrying on" which to me ,other than a few songs was a filler till "My town")But this go around, with the exception of "I got Drunk" is a good album all the way thru. But be forwarned, they do have a habit of changing the groove they have going between songs and a few up beats go to a real slow one, so programming your Cd player would be your best bet with this CD.
The above mentioned "I got drunk" sounds like a song I would expect as a hidden track and not as a track on the cd. It is completely different than anything else on the CD IMO.
By the way, recognize a song on the CD "Last thing I do" and don't remember from where? It was a cd track on Brooks and Dunn's "steers and Stripes"cd and actually comparing Troy Gentry to Ronnie Dunn ,shows both have got the chops for this song.
My real rating on this would be closer to 4.7 or 4.8 but a 5 is close enough for me...
