Roger Miller anyone?

Lately I've been "obsessed" with Roger Miller and his music.  I've been playing disc after disc.  I love most of the songs and the recordings, to me, are pretty great.  I'm not sure where this appreciation came from but I'm happy it did.  I searched out a biography of the man, seems he was an original in so many way.

I guess you either love his music or you think its crap.

Me, I love it.

Anyone else share the sentiment?

I'm ready for the critics, so have at it.

I grew up listening to his music, I like it. My dad liked it so much, he built a stereo to play his records. That got me started into this audio lifestyle. Thanks Roger Miller!

I remember King of the Road and Dang Me when I was a kid. Those were very popular then.

I’m a fan.  Some good songs in Big River.

Also check out O’Brien Party of 7’s “Reincarnation” a tribute album of Roger Miller songs.  (Party of 7 is named for Tim O’Brien and his family).
