Whitey Morgan has been with several music artists and groups since he stared in 2005. As his band’s members changed, so did the group’s name. But no matter what his band is called or whoever the members are, Morgan has stuck with the honky tonk sound. This predominant style is what makes Morgan’s music. And his 2018 single “Honky Tonk Hell” is just one of the proofs to that.
“Honky Tonk Hell”
Morgan and his band have been tirelessly playing honky tonk music than any other artists in over a decade. This made the singer a certified master of the said sound and scene. He has just proven this yet again with the release of the first single from his fourth studio album Hard Times and White Lines with the 78’s.
The song shows Morgan and his band where they’re best at, singing. It depicts the opposite of what country mostly does at present. Also, the song portrays what the honky-tonk life truly is for many unlucky souls.
Even the venue of the recording of the song was perfectly fitted for its type. It happened at the Sonic Ranch just outside El Paso. “Honky Tonk Hell” has the ‘78’s band playing a lot of guitar steel and kick drum head. His fans have since loved hearing such sound from the singer and his band. Certainly, Hard Times and White Lines offers tracks filled with a variety of textures and moods. And, Morgan chose to ignite his solid followers’ excitement with the leading track “Honky Tonk Hell.”
