Biography:
The new album "Honky Tonks and Cheap Motels" now available on ITunes.
Official Website - www.whiteymorgan.com
The roots of country music are despair, pain, sorrow and anguish expressed through song. Drinking, prison, hitting the road, loving and leaving women - these are the classic themes in country. There are no flip-flops in country music. There is no Margaritaville or sandy beaches to the Outlaws.
There is Whitey Morgan.
Whitey Morgan hails from Flint, Michigan.
