Higly recommended. This cd contains all the favorites. This cd brought back precious childhood memories. No one sings like Roger Miller. His silly songs bring a big smile; his soft romantic songs tear at the heart.
I got this for my Dad, and he loves it, it takes him back in time, that's what music can do.remembering a simpler time.
Other than that, the CD is brand new. Brings back smiles :) I received this CD within 3 days on the 2 day shipping. I remember having this as a cassette tape 20 plus years ago.
Faulkner. Roger got popular with novelity songs, "Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd", etc. "Muppets" were prominate, esp. Listen to "King of the Road", an ironic lyric that describes Hobo life as well as Kerouac.
and who doesn't want that. He sang "Little Green Apples", gave Bobby Russell a hit, "Me and Bobby McGee", gave Kris Kristofferson a couple of coins. Roger helped new good songwriters. Roger is of a great American tradition of wit with pointed polical commentary. As populist as Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and as deep/weird as Wm. Listen to "Dang Me", a play on the folk obsession w/death. and got a mid-summer TV Show in 1966.
Roger also wrote book/lyrics for "Big River", a Broadway hit based on "Huckleberry Finn" This CD has most of the hits, not enough of all his oever.Roger Miller needs a box set.There is not much of Roger on CD this is for those who only want to hear "Chug a Lug" Hah. Roger Miller is sadly underappreciated. Roger could rhyme as well as Dylan, be as funny, be as clever a social commentator. Ralph the Dog, but Roger, with his grin and grace always held forth and made sure that music was held high.
A very good CD of Mr miller's music. I enjoyed it and am still am today
