Roger Miller Classics To Be Released Digitally For First Time Ever

May 27, 2022/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Roger Miller‘s classic albums are being released digitally for the first time ever via Capitol Nashville/UMe. To honor Miller’s life, legacy, and timeless music, albums will be rolled out once a month throughout the summer to mark 65 years since the start of Miller’s songwriting career.

Beginning today (May 27), three albums will be released once a month throughout August, starting with 1970’s A Trip In Country, Miller’s recordings of hit country songs he wrote for George Jones, Ernest Tubb, Ray Price and others; 1979’s Making A Name For Myself, featuring his single “The Hat” which he memorably performed on “The Muppet Show;” and 1985’s eponymous Roger Miller, featuring his recording of “River In The Rain” which he wrote for the seven Tony Award-winning play, Big River; and his last-ever single, “Some Hearts Get All The Breaks.”

In all, 12 albums will be made available throughout the summer months, including three of Miller’s biggest records: 1964’s Roger And Out (later to become known as Dang Me) and 1965’s The Return Of Roger Miller and The 3rd Time Around. Miller’s Gold-certified debut, Roger And Out, made him a household name with his first No. 1 country song and top 10 pop crossover hit, “Dang Me,” which along with the hit single, “Chug-A-Lug,” garnered him his first five Grammys, including Best Country Song; Best Country and Western Recording, Single; Best Country and Western Performance, Male; Best Country and Western Album; and Best New Country and Western Artist.

“I’m excited that these classic albums of Roger’s are being made available digitally for all to enjoy,” shares Miller’s widow, Mary Miller. “As I revisit his wonderful catalog of songs, I’m reminded how much I like hearing his lighthearted ones like ‘Hey Would You Hold It Down?’ as well as how poignant his ballads are. I hope these songs bring you a laugh, a tear, but most of all, a smile.”
