From You Do Your Thing (2004). You Do Your Thing is the fourth studio album by American country music duo Montgomery Gentry, released on 18 May 2004 by Columbia Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Montgomery Gentry's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
