Sound Off: Is William Michael Morgan’s ‘Vinyl’ a Hit? [Listen]
William Michael Morgan is embracing a throwback sound on his new single, "Vinyl." On the title track to his debut studio album released in 2016, Morgan sings of how his girl is a little old-fashioned and classic -- just like some of his favorite records.
"You know you got the real thing / The whole world oughtta know your name / Like a band in the hall of fame / On vinyl," he croons on the tune.
"Vinyl" is the third single off Morgan's debut album. It follows the success of his No. 1 single "I Met a Girl" and its follow-up "Missing." The tune was written by Carson Chamberlain, Ashley Gorley and Wade Kirby and features Morgan's traditional vocal style supported with light percussion, pedal steel and acoustic guitar.

Did you know? Morgan got his first guitar as a teenager and soon started a band. By the age of 15 he was playing all the honky-tonks he could sneak into in Mississippi.
William Michael Morgan’s “Vinyl” Lyrics:
If our love was a song girl / I'd play it all night long girl / I tell you what I'd put it on girl / I'd put it on vinyl / A little rock, a little Motown / You got that baby pull me close sound / You make the whole room go round and round like vinyl
Chorus:
What we got is a little old-fashioned / Baby you're an instant classic / They don't make 'em no more like you / So let the needle drop and play it all night / Might have a little static but it's all right / Ain't nothin gonna stop this groove
You know you got the real thing / The whole world oughtta know your name / Like a band in the hall of fame / On vinyl / Go on and let your hair fall girl / Oh you're beautiful you got it all girl / I'd hang your cover on the wall girl / Just like vinyl
Let the needle drop and play it all night / Might have a little static but it's all right / Ain't nothin gonna stop our groove no
If our love was a song girl / I'd play it all night long girl / I tell you what I'd put it on girl / I'd put it on vinyl
When you say my name it's the sweetest sound / Aw girl you got me spinnin' round and round like vinyl / Like vinyl / Ain't nothin' gonna stop this groove / No they don't make 'em no more like you / Like vinyl
