Mike Morgan
Приєднався 21 тра 2012
Mike Morgan was born in Dallas on November 30, 1959, and grew up in nearby Hillsboro, Texas.
Mike Morgan and The Crawl quickly made a name for themselves as one of the best contemporary blues bands in Texas, writing original songs that were on a par with the classics they chose to cover.
After Darrell Nulisch (formerly with Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets and Ronnie Earl) left the band in 1989, Morgan set out to find a vocalist who would fit his desire for a broader-based R&B sound. He found the perfect match in Kansas City native and blues veteran Lee McBee, whose smoky, seasoned vocals were reminiscent of the legendary 1960s soul singers Morgan listened to while growing up. The fact that McBee was also an accomplished and revered harmonica player added more fuel to The Crawl's fire.

Mikey, I sure hope you didn’t make the same mistake as EC… No music I’d rather listen to than MM & the Crawl. Soooo good!
Best band of all time!

Does anyone know where I can buy the new album The lights wen tout in Dallas ? They ask huge money on the ebay and in the amazon doesn't exist.

Oh m gee - I didn’t know MM had a YT channel! My all time favorite band of all time! I know, it bears repeating. Lee McBee & Mike wrote and played the BEST music. Nothing better, IMO. If you never saw them play, you missed OUT!
many years ago saw this band in Dallas, they can Rock!
Killer bass sound...!👍
I thought he'd be bigger.
Anybody know where this song can be purchased?
