With a career built on rawness, soul, and over 15 years of non-stop touring, Whitey Morgan has long stood as one of the foremost torchbearers of outlaw country. With roots in Flint, Michigan, Morgan has released six critically acclaimed studio albums, one powerful live album, and earned a reputation as an uncompromising road warrior—averaging over 125 shows a year. Rolling Stone has described him as a “Waylon Jennings disciple … a modern-day outlaw with a hard-hitting, blue-collar musical expression,” while NPR has praised him for living up to the legacy of legends like Jennings, Merle Haggard, and David Allan Coe.

Since the release of Hard Times and White Lines in 2018 – dubbed “his best collection yet” by American Songwriter – Morgan has only solidified his position, filling clubs and selling out venues across the country. In 2024, he reached a defining milestone with his official debut on the Grand Ole Opry, a moment that was more than just a career achievement – ​​it cemented his place in the living history of country music.

Whitey Morgan found renewed creative energy early in 2025 with the release of three new singles produced by Shooter Jennings. These songs – rough, soulful and unmistakably Morgan – marked a strong return to the studio. “Let Me Roll,” the first single, set the tone with its raw heartland soundscape, followed by two equally impactful releases that showed Morgan’s songwriting is as vital as ever.

Now Whitey Morgan & the 78's continue to forge their own path – on stage, in the studio and on their own terms. With a loyal fan base built concert by concert, Morgan remains one of the most enduring and genuine voices in country music – an artist for the outsiders, the true daredevils, and all those who still find salvation in a steel guitar and a hard truth.
