Released during Roger Miller’s commercial peak in the mid-1960s, the upbeat heartbreak tune found the singer tapping his more mainstream pop sensibilities to continued success. His deep, expressive voice is sometimes at odds with the forcefully cheery instrumentals behind him, but the lyrics are as distinctive and compelling as ever – iconic enough...
You hardly need much else when the title is that good, but Roger Miller pours it on with one of his most evocative vocal performances – cementing the song’s status as a pitch-perfect country tune. Eddy Arnold made it a hit, but Miller’s version is all heart, as is the Dolly Parton and Alison Krauss rendition from a recent Miller tribute album.
Even if it failed to instantly propel him to country superstardom, Roger Miller’s first top 10 single became a standard of the genre, earning covers by everyone from Jerry Lee Lewis to John Prine and Trisha Yearwood. Miller co-wrote the matter-of-fact waltz with Bill Anderson, while Chet Atkins produced the understated recording, in which even the ...
The goofy song about being young and getting drunk became Roger Miller’s second consecutive quasi-novelty track to become a massive hit, following “Dang Me” up Billboard’s country and pop charts before peaking on the Hot 100 at No. 9. “Chug-A-Lug” flaunted Miller’s skill at contorting his voice to humorous and evocative effect in a relatively strip...
For all his storytelling, very few Roger Miller singles carried a nonautobiographical narrative from beginning to end. “Kansas City Star” is the punny exception to that rule, taking the tale of a local newscaster who would rather be a big fish in a small pond than advance their career; Miller’s comic skills are centered in the recording, but the me...
Roger Miller partnered with Willie Nelsonfor this 1982 album, and Ray Price joined the party for its title track, a lilting tribute to the Texan ensemble’s long history together as well as friendship in general. Miller was long past having something to prove, and though age is evident in his voice (he passed a decade later), his singing is just as ...
Originally recorded by George Jones and popularized several decades later by Alan Jackson, this Cajun-inspired love song shows Roger Miller’s sweet side. He co-wrote the tune with Jones, another legend still early in his career, to channel the kind of simple subject and melody that makes the song sound much older than it is, like something that mig...
This eyebrow-raising tribute to hard living and its consequences is so memorable that it’s hard to believe it hasn’t been more prolifically covered. Its only single release came courtesy of 60s country duo Johnnie & Jack, who did little with it – Roger Miller’s own recording is (unsurprisingly) much more dynamic, fast-paced and almost grungy in the...
Allegedly, Roger Miller called this the favorite of his own compositions – a claim that may have been a bit of a joke in itself, given the song’s purposefully absurd lyrics. The refrain, though, isn’t absurd at all: “You can be happy if you’ve a mind to,” he repeats after every improbable verse, weaving a little sincerity into all the silliness. Mi...
As his pop radio hit streak faltered, Roger Miller found new ways to stay in the center of the American zeitgeist – including penning beloved songs for children’s movies. He was not only the narrator (Alan-a-Dale, a rooster) of Disney’s 1973 take on Robin Hood, but the creator of most of its soundtrack, including the mellow near-nursery rhyme “Oo-D...
