Roger Miller - Wild Child (Madcap Sensation Of Country Music)
In this episode, we're featuring a 1965 release from Starday Records, highlighting a different side of Roger Miller: Wild Child (Madcap Sensation Of Country Music). This album illustrates the early honky tonk sides of Roger Miller - rather than the novelty songs which were making big money for Miller and Smash records at the time - including some he wrote himself, and a few covers, done very nicely in a style you don't hear too often from this top notch country singer/songwriter: Under Your Spell Again, Country Girl and Playboy - while hits for other artists - are expertly covered here by a Miller and a laidback Nashville team. This album, packaged to entice fans of Dang Me and Chug-A-Lug, uncovers a hard country side of Roger Miller that would likely be new to the casual fan. Top quality release.
