From the auto plants of Flint, Michigan to the neon glow of America’s honky-tonks, Whitey Morgan has carved his own lane in country music. In this 2 part story on Honky Tonk Tales, Jimmy takes you on a rowdy ride through Whitey’s blue-collar roots, his band The 78’s, the long nights and longer highways, and the albums (Honky Tonks and Cheap Motels, Sonic Ranch, Hard Times and White Lines) that made him a modern outlaw legend.

Packed with back stories, barroom tales, and a few laughs along the way, this episode shines a spotlight on the gravel-voiced honky-tonker who proved that real country music can come from anywhere — even Flint, Michigan.

So pour yourself a drink, crank the jukebox, and ride along as we celebrate the grit, grind, and glory of Whitey Morgan.
