Morgan was born in Dallas, but grew up in
Hillsboro, Texas. He received his first guitar at an early age, and initially concentrated on playing
rock music. In 1985, he converted to blues and
blues-rock, before relocating back to Dallas in 1986. There he met
Darrell Nulisch, who was one of the founding members of The Crawl. The
group was named for a
Lonnie Brooks song. Mike Morgan and the Crawl earned a reputation playing around Dallas and the
Fort Worth area, before Nulisch left them in 1989, to be replaced by the singer and
harmonica player,
Lee McBee. Following a performance at the
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, their debut 1990
album,
Raw & Ready, saw them undertake national and international tours. Further albums including
Full Moon Over Dallas, and ''Ain't Worried No More,
ensued, before Morgan recorded without his backing group on Let The Dogs Run
(1994) with Jim Suhler. In 1994, Mike Morgan and the Crawl appeared on the bill at the Notodden Blues Festival. Later group releases included their Black Top swansong, I Like the Way You Work It'', but at the end of the 1990s, McBee left the band. Buoyed by the experience of playing behind Nulisch,
Keith Dunn, and Chris Whynaught, 2000's
Texas Man saw Morgan's vocalist debut.
Live in Dallas (2004) followed before Morgan's latest effort,
Stronger Every Day, released in March 2008, which included further accompaniment from McBee and
Randy McAllister. Recent activity has seen a reduction in
touring, and Morgan is working as a sales manager in a
Mesquite, Texas,
motorcycle dealership. ==Discography==
