Whitey Morgan Releases First New Music in Six Years

News 9 Comments


It’s been a long cold winter waiting around for country music Outlaw badass Whitey Morgan to release new music. It’s been some six years since he released his last album Hard Times and White Lines (2018) with his band The 78’s. Whitey will be the first to tell you he’s not the most prolific songwriter or recording artist. But when he does make time from his tireless touring schedule, perfecting his barbecue recipes, or being a father to record, he takes the business seriously.

Whitey’s let it be known that he’s been in the studio with Shooter Jennings, and now finally the fruits of those labors are beginning to be revealed. Though we don’t have a proper release date on any new album just yet, we do have a badass new cut called “Let Me Roll” chronicling Whitey’s road dog mentality that has been a calling card of his career.

Before the release, Whitey had warned fans that he was looking to expand his sound a little bit. “I can only do so many Drop ‘D’ fu–king half time songs,” he said. But don’t you worry, “Let Me Roll” is exactly what you want from Whitey Morgan and the 78’s, and hopefully there’s more where it came from.

Whitey also recently announced that he will be playing the Ryman Auditorium on January 18th, and expects a couple more new songs to be out by that time.

When Cody Jinks was coming up, there was a reason he hooked up with Whitey Morgan to tour the West Coast and elsewhere. He’s one of the originals in the insurgent country music world, and it’s good to finally hear new music from him.

Welcome back Whitey Morgan.
