Roger Miller

One of the most multifaceted talents country music has ever known, Roger Dean Miller left a musical legacy of astonishing depth and range. A struggling honky-tonk singer and songwriter, Miller first hit Nashville in 1957. He would blossom into a country-pop superstar in the 1960s with self-penned crossover hits like “Dang Me” and “King of the Road.”

This release includes 30 seminal and harder-edged studio recordings by Roger Miller, consisting of the superb singles he made for the Starday, Decca, and RCA-Victor labels, between 1957 and 1962. All of these great songs have been remastered in this collector’s edition, which gives ample proof of Miller’s honky-tonk roots, as well as his rightful place in the country music pantheon.
