Melba Montgomery's been writing fairly steadily, I think; there's a great
song by her and a couple of other folks on Rhonda Vincent's Trouble Free
that had a recent copyright date, and I believe I've seen her name elsewhere
on some more-or-less mainstream album credits. I think that her singing
appearance on the Travis cut was her first in a while. The All-Music Guide
shows one in-print CD from 1992 - a nice mix of classics and new stuff,
including a great great song co-written by Russell Smith and a couple of
other people that Pam Tillis did called "Do You Know Where Your Man Is" -
and that's about it, although a duet with Carl Jackson is listed on a really
obscure album from '96 called Nashville Country Duets (hmm, Skaggs, Emmylou,
Jackson, Montgomery and the Whites, I'm going to have to check this out).
As far as Gill goes, Stevie, I'd think you'd want to start with The Key and
see how badly you react to his smoother stuff <g>; either that or High
Lonesome Sound.
