Morgan built his sound on Waylon Jennings and Johnny Paycheck rather than anything playing on country radio at the time, and rather than following a trend, he took his band to Levon Helm's studio in Woodstock and recorded it live, no frills, with a pedal steel and Telecaster that spoke for themselves. It still debuted on Billboard's country chart, proof that there was an audience that wanted exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurn Up the Bottle is the song that built his reputation, a true anthem to drinking delivered without winking. Their cover of Johnny Paycheck's Meanest Jukebox in Town seems like it was written specifically for Morgan's voice, Buick City carries the weight of its hometown's decline without ever becoming maudlin, and Bad News opens the album setting the tone, worn and unhurried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine tracks recorded live in Levon Helm's barn, and none of them sound like they were made for radio. That was always the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinylestore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910334906445,"sku":"708857176168","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/9131\/7325\/files\/Whitey_Morgan_the_78s-Whitey_Morgan_The_78s_Blue_Bone.jpg?v=1794005696","url":"https:\/\/vinylestore.shop\/products\/whitey-morgan-the-78s-whitey-morgan-the-78s-1","provider":"Vinylestore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
