Our Take

Roger Miller's "King Of The Road - The Best Of" is a rollicking romp through the whimsical world of one of country music's most offbeat personalities. Miller's signature blend of honky-tonk twang and clever wordplay shines brightly on this collection of hits and deep cuts.

The album opens with the titular track "King Of The Road," a cheeky ode to a down-and-out drifter with a heart of gold. Miller's mischievous grin can practically be heard through his playful delivery, making it impossible not to tap your toes along to the catchy melody.

Tracks like "Dang Me" and "Chug-A-Lug" showcase Miller's unique ability to blend humour with heart, crafting songs that are as heartfelt as they are hilarious. His distinctive voice and penchant for quirky storytelling ensure that each song is a memorable journey in itself.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Do Wacka Do," a delightful tune that is equal parts nonsensical and charming. Miller's jaunty performance and infectious energy make this track a joy to listen to, leaving you grinning from ear to ear.

Overall, "King Of The Road - The Best Of" is a delightful collection that showcases Roger Miller's undeniable talent as a singer-songwriter. With its blend of humour, heart, and toe-tapping tunes, this album is sure to please both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. So hop on board, grab a drink, and enjoy the whimsical ride that is Roger Miller's musical world. Cheers!
