5 out of 5 stars One of the better hits collections of Roger Miller.......2005-06-05

The first thing you need to know is that your music library needs to have at least two Roger Miller CDs in it. First, you need to have a hits collection of his work from the Sixties. The hits collection is required to have "King of the Road," "Dang Me," "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd," "Do-Wacka-Do," and "England Swings." Almost all of the hits collections are solid on that score, as is this one. With 22 tracks this is an above average Roger Miller hits collection (I think the biggest one I have seen has 30 tracks) and it does have some very worthwhile tracks beyond the aforementioned short list of absolute necessities.

Obviously Roger Miller is remember for his humorous novelty songs, but he wrote some certified popular and country classics including "Invitation to the Blues," "That's the Way I Feel," Half a Mind," "Home," "The Last Word in Lonesome Is Me," and "Billy Bayou." Miller only recorded a few of these so you will not hear many of them on this album, but they do remind us that Miller was a very good songwriter who was capable of doing more than right what people might have erroneously dismissed as being "novelty" songs. He played not only guitar but fiddle, piano, banjo, and drums. This album includes another novelty hit, "Chug-a-Lug," his original songs "Husbands and Wives" and nice covers of "Me and Bobby McGee," "In the Summertime," and "My Elusive Dreams."

However, in addition to an album like this one you need to have his Tony Award winning musical "Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Connecting the dots between the two is easy. I mean, the only other person you could think of to write the songs for a musical based on a Mark Twain book would have to be Randy Newman. "Big River" won seven Tony Awards and two of those went to Miller, for Best Musical and Outstanding Score. The songs on this album prove that there was always a brain (and a heart) behind all those funny little songs Miller sang in the Sixties, and it comes full flower in "Big River." But the evidence was always there if you paid attention. After all, "Trailers for sale or rent," is a great opening line. Just believe me when I insist that you need to have two Roger Miller albums in your music library. There is just no way you are going to be disappointed with Roger Miller's best work.
