Folks Like Us is the eighth studio album by American country music duo Montgomery Gentry. It was released on June 9, 2015 via Blaster Records as their only studio album for the label. "Headlights" and the title track were released as singles. It was also the last album released by the duo before Troy Gentry's death in 2017 in a helicopter crash.
Content Troy Gentry described the title track as " a song about American society and making ends meet. It's about being patriotic and showing your faith and the love of family. It's one of those blue-collar songs that we've been known for doing for so long."
Critical reception Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic rated it 3 out of 5 stars, stating that " Montgomery Gentry are comfortable where they are, alternating rocking country with strong sentiment."
