(December 2025) Episode 696 is ROGER MILLER. I’ve always admired his “King of the Road” as an exceptional feat of songwriting — concise storytelling, simple yet tuneful. His style gets him labelled as a country artist although he made his mark with novelty songs like “Dang Me!” His voice was plain but could be subtly wry, putting some charm into his honky-tonk flavor.
