“Origins: Craig Morgan” On GAC Tonight

By on November 14, 2012 in In The Press

Career, Success and Home Life Happiness Go Hand In Hand

Craig Morgan“I tell people all the time ‘I’m not a redneck, I’m not a hillbilly and I’m not a cowboy.  And I don’t pretend to be,” says Craig Morgan in Origins: Craig Morgan premiering Wednesday, November 14, 10:00 p.m./EST on GAC.  “What I am is a country boy.”

Morgan is a native Tennessean who’s raised his family on a five-acre spread in Dickson, TN., west of Nashville.  Those who know him best – his wife, his father, his manager, even his Army commander – help tell Morgan’s story of two successful careers, one as a chart-topping country star and one as a respected military man.
