The most recent artists to sign with Average Joe Entertainment are also one of country’s best-loved and most venerable groups. Montgomery Gentry are well-known, of course, and bring an older and more traditional approach to their music than many of their labelmates. The eleven tracks on Rebels on the Run celebrate the traditional rural lifestyles of simplicity, hard work, hard play, wild fun, patriotism and love of home. Particularly outstanding is the first single “Where I Come From”, a celebration of small-town America where doors can be left unlocked and where everybody knows each other. Equally charming is the Charlie Daniels feature “I Like Those People”, which seems to be a tribute to the residents of “Where I Come From”. The tightly-knit concept continues with “Simple Things”, and the title track “Rebels on the Run” fondly recalls a cantankerous young life from the nostalgia of nowadays. Rebels on the Run is a worthy addition to the legacy of Montgomery Gentry, and won’t disappoint their fans, young or old.

At the Grambling Homecoming Parade, 2011
At the Grambling Homecoming Parade, Saturday October 22, 2011.
Getting An Early Start for Grambling Homecoming 2011
The Grambling Homecoming Parade always starts at 9 AM, and it always seems a lot earlier than that. The weather is usually chilly, and this year was no exception, but people start lining the route as early as 8:30 to get the best spots for watching.
After the Talent Show, Grambling Homecoming, 2011
When I got to the Grambling campus, the talent show at T. H. Harris Auditorium has just ended, and there were still crowds of students around the quadrangle and Founders Avenue. But the crowds seemed thinner this year compared to previous homecomings, and less inclined to hang out. I stopped by my friend Dr. Reginald Owens’ house to catch up with him for a minute, and then I drove back to Monroe.
Warehouse No. 1 Restaurant, Monroe LA
I decided to eat dinner Friday night at the Warehouse Number 1 Restaurant in Monroe, Louisiana, which is built on the levee directly beside the Ouachita River. I hadn’t eaten there in nearly ten years, but it’s still good.
Last Remnants of DeSiard Street, Monroe, LA
Although I was in Louisiana for Grambling State University homecoming 2011, the nearest hotel I could get a room in was at Monroe, Louisiana, 30 miles away. When I got to Monroe, I came upon this old, seemingly-historic building at 10th and DeSiard. Signs indicated that it once housed the 10th Street Social Club, the Standard Life Insurance Company of Louisiana, the Monroe Free Press (an African-American newspaper), Eddie’s Place and Hilliard’s Cafe. A sign at the entrance to the 10th Street Social Club stated that any women with weapons would be turned over to the police! The 1965 Monroe City Directory indicated that the building was the Roy-Miller Building, and that it was the site of a number of important businesses, clubs and professional offices for the African-American community in Monroe. It is a tragedy that it has been allowed to deteriorate.
The Kentucky Headhunters (@KyHeads) Live and Unplugged at @selectohits
The Kentucky Headhunters performed songs from “Dixie Lullabies” for the employes at Select-O-Hits in Memphis last week.
The new Kentucky Headhunters album “Dixie Lullabies” is distributed by Select-O-Hits, and we were fortunate enough to have them perform for us in our warehouse in Memphis. They are really cool people and great musicians.
