Michael Jackson Montgomery Releases “Letter B” Demo
About two months ago, Saving Country Music introduced you to a would-be pop country star named Michael Jackson Montgomery in the aftermath of drama between Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter Miley. As we explained then:
…a PROMINENT, WELL KNOWN NASHVILLE LABEL was about to launch another daddy/daughter duo cut in the same mold as Billy Ray and Miley. The idea was to have the dad be big in country, the daughter big in pop, and plan TV shows/movies/merchandise lines around this premise. As the idea was presented to me, it was to be, “a vast, multi-level, multi-platform, cross market super franchise with the hopes of putting the label on solid ground after years of falling music sales.”
The dad was going to be named “Michael Jackson Montgomery” and the daughter “Natalie”. . . Now because of the Billy Ray/Miley drama, my mole at the MAJOR NASHVILLE LABEL is saying “the future of the Michael Jackson Montgomery & Natalie project is uncertain.”
Saving Country Music was able to obtain a demo for a song called “My Baby’s Gonna Dance” by Montgomery from a mole deep at this MAJOR NASHVILLE LABEL. Shortly after releasing the demo, Michael Jackson Montgomery contacted SCM directly, offering to release more demo’s “when appropriate,” and yesterday he sent us another one called “The Letter ‘B'”. As my mole at this MAJOR NASHVILLE LABEL explains about this most-recently leaked demo:
It is a song written in the often-used Nashville “laundry list” formula. “Laundry list” songs involve cramming as many references to stereotypical “country” things as possible into them to validate the performing artist with country credibility, and to appeal to suburban demographics who like to live vicariously through allusions to country life in their music.
Think Aaron Lewis’ “Country Boy”, Josh Thompson’s “Beer On The Table” or Blake Shelton’s “Kiss My Country Ass”.
But “The Letter B” takes it even further according to the mole:
Since the Michael Jackson Montgomery/Natalie project was slated towards all demographics, including young children, we decided to add the identifiable teaching element of making the song be about a letter so that the kids could be involved, and parents could feel like their kids could have something to gain my listening to the song together as a family. Think of ABC’s old “Schoolhouse Rock” programs on TV, or Sesame Street, how each episode is sponsored by a letter.
But just like with Trace Adkin’s song “Brown Chicken Brown Cow”, whose video incorporated puppets to appeal to kids while the song contained sexually-suggestive lyrics, “The Letter ‘B’ has a large amount of sexual content as well that makes me appaled that they would market it to kids. Check it out and judge for yourself:

I like baseball. I like Barbecue. I like beer. And I like boobs.
I like The Letter B, now listen to me. I’m gonna make a laundry list from the Letter B.
So that way all of you can see, just how much country boy’s in me.
—
I like big brunking bareback bullfight riders
I like bass boat fishin’ tokin’ drunken drivers.
I like beauty queens with blonde hair and big ol’ butts.
I like getting gonorrhea from backwoods sluts.
—–Chorus
Well some high fallutin’ folks from the country club, are coming down here to destroy our fun.
But I’m a genuine redneck with my guns in the air, so I don’t even care.
—
‘Cause I like big ol’ brats boiling on a grill.
I like eating bacon for breakfast ’till I get my fill.
I like my baseball cap’s bent brim pulled down low.
I like putting on women’s panties and snorting blow.
—–Chorus
I like back doors, I like big butts.
I like tight holes, and I like swinging nuts.
Well this song’s brought to you by The Letter B
I’m gonna make a laundry list, so listen to me.
So that way all of you can see, just how much country boy’s in me.

This is some funny shit Trigger Man, but what is not funny is that this shit is really going on down on Music Row. But, As Zach Shedd said a while back, its not the City of Nashville that has killed Country, there is a lot of great music and players still there as you know. It is just sad that so many never get the exposure they deserve.

When I read the lyrics, I thought that you had wrote that as a joke Trig. Can’t belief this is real… They actually use “laundry list” in the song! Good to see the promotion of drunken driving too. This is the worst of the worst.

Rumor has it theirs a Colt Fold / MJM collaboration in the works.
Oh, and when can I buy this album?
April 27, 2011 @ 10:43 am
“I like putting on women”™s panties and snorting blow.”
Hahahahahaha!
April 27, 2011 @ 10:45 am
Hahaha holy shit thats funny. And its also sick as shit that aint right those lyrics are just stupid and extremely hard to believe that there real but they are. And as for Colt Ford singing with that guy idk I’d have to see it to believe it. After he came on here like he did he seems really legit.
April 27, 2011 @ 11:39 am
Colt Ford may be legit as a person, I will grant him that. But never will I call his music “legit”

MJM Hardcore for life!
April 27, 2011 @ 3:49 pm
For my sanity, I’m gonna go ahead and believe this isn’t real. That way, it’s humorous and not dangerous.
April 27, 2011 @ 4:01 pm
beautiful voice on this singer. sounds so damn familiar…..
April 27, 2011 @ 5:06 pm
Hahahahahahaha!

There’s no Kazoo though. Really needs the Kazoo.
And whats wrong with butter beans? Thar’s nary a mention of butterflies and barnyard mud wrestling or baseball and basketball and baskets in general for that matter. What about being barefoot? You AIN’T country til your feet are black. And I mean to tell you there ain’t nothing about blackberries. Or blue berries. Or boysenberries neither.
PFFFT.

Great blog Triggerman 🙂
April 28, 2011 @ 5:35 am
I am pretty sure this guy is pure comedy genius. Do you think this is real? Is this a joke?
April 28, 2011 @ 5:49 am
I think you guys are reading too much into this. Have you heard of that totally serious band called Tenacious D?
April 28, 2011 @ 5:56 am
With Jack Black? Yep.
April 28, 2011 @ 6:49 am
I’m really confused, I think I’m the one not in the loop here. Maybe I’m reading into this too much! Is this real, is this a joke, what the hell is this?
April 28, 2011 @ 4:09 pm
Sit back Jeremiah, close your eyes. Let the song wash over you and all your questions will be answered ….

I’ve had a rough day, and I came here and listened to this and it made me laugh out loud all over again! Good shit man, funny as all hell.
April 29, 2011 @ 6:05 am
That is one catchy song. Been singing to myself since I heard it. Not too loud around the kids, though.
April 29, 2011 @ 8:00 pm
