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.

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.

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.

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.

Good sound. Heard them on satellite radio.
And liked his sound. I really liked The song Were Do You What It? If like you like real country music its a good buy.

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

This guy gets it right!
Absolutely killer 60s-70s style Honky-Tonk, totally authentic sounding, every song a winner. Even better than his previous album, IMO. Read more

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.

Good album, promising artist
I've had this for about two weeks now, and yes, it's good. It has a direct and engaging energy that alot of honky-tonk takes for granted (we now live in a world where a band like... Read more
