Whitey sings songs these people can relate to. In much the same way his grandfather and mentor did over 3 decades ago, to a whole generation of southern transplants who came up US-23 to Flint looking for the good life. Whitey sings it straight, with an urgency that'll help people forget their problems for a few hours and serve as the guideline for drinking the sorrows away. The halftime groove brings out everyone's dancing shoes and while Whitey and the 78's play, the world is a tiny bit better place.
Since the release of their first album Honky Tonks and Cheap Motels, Whitey and the band have revived a forgotten genre with a fierce dedication and determination. They've toured the country spreading their sound and real deal vibe everywhere they go. They play honky-tonk tunes in any club in any town without apology and with a purpose. Look out, this bad news sounds real good.
For about 200 shows a year you can count on Whitey Morgan and the 78's to deliver. Whitey's whiskey tinged vocals, the 78's boot stomping beats, all stirring up dance floors and elevating spirits. In this world, there isn't a person who couldn't use this kinda release every now and again. Read more on Last.fm.
