Montgomery Gentry inducted into Grand Ole Opry

Montgomery Gentry has been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.

After singing hits "My Town and "Something to Be Proud Of," the duo received a membership award from Opry members Little Jimmy Dickens and Marty Stuart on Tuesday night.

Troy Gentry told the audience he didn't have the words to describe how much the induction means to him and musical partner Eddie Montgomery.

Since a 1999 debut, Montgomery Gentry has had several hits with its Southern rock style of country.

The duo's recent album, "Back When I Knew It All," had a No. 1 single by the same name and the multiweek No. 1, "Roll With Me."
