About Whitey Morgan & the 78's
In a career spanning more than 15 years, Morgan has released six studio albums and a live recording from his hometown of Flint, Michigan. Additionally, he has toured relentlessly, averaging over 125 shows annually. Rolling Stone has described him as a "Waylon Jennings acolyte...modern day outlaw [with a] hard hitting blue-collar brand of music," while NPR hailed, "Staying close to the sound and subject matter of classic outlaw artists like Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and David Allan Coe, Morgan is poised to lead this hand-worn brand of country to the next generation."
Since “Hard Times and White Lines,” dubbed by American Songwriter as his "finest set yet," came out in 2018 , Morgan has been touring relentlessly, culminating in his official Opry Debut earlier this year. With this debut, Morgan not only cemented his place in country music's pantheon but is also embracing a pivotal moment that signifies his evolution from a hard-touring artist to a recognized torchbearer for outlaw country's enduring legacy.
Whitey recently returned to the studio and left with a handful of songs, of which he says " I’m more excited about these than I've been about music in a long time." These tracks, all produced by Shooter Jennings, signal Morgan's reinvigorated dedication to pushing the boundaries of what country music can be. "Let Me Roll," the first of these three new songs to be released, is a gritty, heartland anthem with soulful, blue-collar sound and is available to stream everywhere now.
