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,...Read more

When we were kids, My dad was always signing around the house, And one of the ones I remembered him singing was Trailer for sale or Rent ( King of the Road)... He loves this CD, and it's nice that he is singing again. Remembered all the words and was nice to see him enjoying hearing this. Terrific CD!!
