He appeared with the Beat Farmers on eight recordings, offering up his talents on albums like "Loud and Plowed and…LIVE!!" and "Poor and Famous". Montana also worked with groups like the Pleasure Barons and the Snuggle Bunnies, bringing his skills with the guitar, drums, and his deep resonant voice to each tune. On a cold November night in 1995, Country Dick Montana was on-stage at the Long Horn bar, doing what he loved most, performing, when he collapsed and died. He was only 40 years old, and his solo career was barely out of the starting gate. He had finished recording his excellent solo debut album only weeks before his sudden death. – Charlotte Dillon (All Music Guide)
