Whitey Morgan & The 78's – Born Raised & Live from Flint (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Flint, Michigan has never been an easy place, and Whitey Morgan channels that weight into a strain of honky-tonk that owes more to Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard than anything Nashville has produced in decades. Morgan built his reputation the hard way, through relentless roadwork and a refusal to sand down the rough edges, and a hometown live recording captures exactly the kind of unvarnished energy that studio albums can't always hold.
A sermon in outlaw country under the guise of a live album is the only way to preface Born, Raised & LIVE from Flint by Whitey Morgan & the 78's. Holding court on the hometown stage of Flint, Michigan's the Machine Shop, Morgan and cohorts deliver a Rust Belt tent revival, extolling both vice and virtue on this recording that followed the 2010 release of their self-titled sophomore album. Packed with chicken picking, pedal steel and low E twang, the bar band with a pedigree conjures ghosts of the past and reinterprets lingering souls on their 13-track epistle of front-to-back country righteousness.
