Get the box set.......2003-01-07

All of these tracks are re-recordings Miller must have made later in life. The problem is that there is no disclaimer so that the consumer isn't aware of the this until you get the disk home. The box set, The Genius of Roger Miller, is the real McCoy. My recommendation is to spend the money and get the box set.

You'll be happier with an earlier release.......2001-11-30

Disappointing from first track to last. All the spice is gone.

For example in Dang Me, the words: "lack nineteen dollars of having" are all the same note, and spoken, not sung. Apparently his vocal agility was gone. In the same song, "high from the highest treeee-YEEE!" - the high-pitched "YEEE!" on the end is gone.

The same thing in "Chug-a-lug". There's no uplift at the end of "hi-dee-ho". Still a pretty good song but just doesn't sparkle.

The spice in a Roger Miller song is that he transitions from high to low and back, or the reverse. On this disc he might transition up or down, but not back, and that makes it dull.

I give positive points for the collection of songs which is excellent for the price.

Mid-80s re-recording of classic song catalog.......2002-06-09

This collection presents fifteen tracks from the 1985 sessions in which Miller (along with producer Buddy Killen) re-recorded many of his hit songs for an album that would be sold on television. These are good productions, and Miller's voice, though not showing the agility or flexibility of the original hit vocals, is still quite charming. But given that the original hits are readily available (though you have to search for them among all the reissues of these 1985 sessions), these re-recordings are more the province of completist collectors than casual fans.

Artists often revisit their earlier glories, occasionally lending something new to old chestnuts by virtue of their maturity as performers. These re-recordings capture the essence of the originals (namely, Miller's brilliant songwriting and the giddiness of his singing), but they're overshadowed in the details by the original, iconic hit singles. Recutting a rich history of hits in a few compact sessions invariably flattens out the artistic arc, obscuring the definition each original holds as a step along the artist's career path.

Two of these mid-80s tracks were overdubbed by Miller's widow, Mary Miller (a one-time member of Kenny Rogers' First Edition), following her husband's passing in 1992. Her vocals turn "Husbands and Wives" and "The Last Word in Lonesome" into unusual posthumous duets. Of further interest are three mid-70s singles cut for Columbia: "Open Up Your Heart," "I Believe in the Sunshine" and "Our Love."

1985's Roger Miller was a wiser and more practiced performer than the man who recorded these same songs over the preceding twenty years. His fans will no doubt enjoy the opportunity to hear him reconsider his artistic successes, but those wishing to get the heart of Miller's work are better off with a collection of his original hit recordings.

2-1/2 stars, if Amazon allowed fractional ratings.

Only for the completest.......2001-05-08

As mentioned in the last review this CD contains newly recorded version of the songs. Very nice sound, but ultimatly dissapointing. It's too bad there is such a lack of Roger Miller titles available. There are many, many packages featuring the same songs, but no different material with the exception of the boxed set and this CD. The one song on this CD that isn't on the boxed set is Billy Bayou (at least I don't see it listed in). But there are songs that aren't available on the other hits packages. It's just too bad they are watered down rercordings. Roger Miller is such a unique and wonderful talent, he deserves a re-release of his studio albums. Hint, hint.

Good but disappointing............2000-11-03

I purchased this cd hoping for original versions of the songs. They have been re-recorded and NO mention of this is anywhere on the cd. I purchased this for basically one song "My uncle used to love me but she died"- the only other set this song is on is the Box Set "King of The Road". The sound quality is good and it's got all the hits...but just not the versions from the 60's. So if you want the originals don't look to this one. If you're already a fan and want slightly different versions and good photos..pick it up and enjoy.
