Two Columns, One Name: John Morgan Puts "Kid Myself" at the Top

In this town the writers and the singers are usually two different sets of people, and the rooms where they work are a few blocks apart. John Morgan belongs to both. His single "Kid Myself" has reached No. 1, and it does so under his own name, as the Broken Bow Records artist's second chart-topping record. Counted the other way, by the credits, the song is the seventh he has written to get there. That is the kind of ledger Nashville reads closely, because it shows a craftsman who could keep a comfortable living on the writing side alone and has chosen to stand in front of the microphone as well.
