Biography

Whitey Morgan and the 78’s are a Honky Tonk band from Flint, Michigan. They haven’t re-invented the wheel. They just picked it up and started it rolling all over again.

In Flint, most of the factories are closed, jobs are scarce and the people are bitter. Whitey sings songs these people can relate to. In much the same way his grandfather and mentor did over 3 decades ago, to ... Read more in Amazon's Whitey Morgan and the 78's Store

Editorial Reviews

Review

If sorrow, anguish and hard times are the foundation upon which country music was originally built, a case could be made that Flint, Michigan should be the new Nashville. --AOL Spinner

Their hardheaded honky-tonk twang is pure outlaw, channeling a rebellious spirit that s as true to their name-checked predecessors (Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams) as it is to the MC5. --Cleveland Scene

You may just find that these barely-known kids coming out of Michigan have made your favorite album of the year. They re stumbling their drunk asses onto my Essential Listening list. --Ninebullets

Product Description

Outlaw's always been the rough-around-the-edges, tuff guy uncle at the country music family picnic. Denim and leather, not Stetson and Nudie. Hair by Pennzoil, not Pomade. But, in the right hands---Haggard, Paycheck, Junior, Willie and Waylon and now Whitey Morgan---Outlaw is more than beards and bandanas, ink and attitude, it's goddamn folk music. It's about doing the best you can, about getting by and about cold beer and colder women---everything that keeps the honky tonks full on a Saturday night. It's about standing up when it'd just be easier to fall down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything old is new again. December 8, 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This CD is what country radio should be playing today. This band apparently learned from the best. There are echoes of Waylon, both Hanks, Johnny, both Georges and everything that was good about country music years ago. With that said, they still manage to be contemporary. If you like Zac Brown and Jamey Johnson, you'll love Whitey Morgan and the 78's. They are the real deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure honky tonk! November 26, 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Folks, this is the best pure honky tonk CD I have heard in a long time.
If you like Dale Watson, Lucky Tubb, Lucky Tomblin, Johnny Bush, you can't go wrong with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer album! May 1, 2012
By jcs
Format:Vinyl|Amazon Verified Purchase
This guy is a badass pure and simple. The whole album is great which is hard to find lately it seems. The sound is almost a throwback to the outlaw days of country music - Whitey Morgan nails it! Don't wonder about this one - do yourself a favor and just buy it.

If you like real country music this is for you. Reminds me of Jamey Johnson too. This is not "pop" country.

4.0 out of 5 stars Real Country Music
Whitey Morgan plays what I call "Real" country music; not that pop/rock stuff radio pushes as Today's Country. I enjoy listening to this CD.
