Roger Miller is unique. Not just because he sings and writes about things that the average singer/songwriter doesn't write about; it's because he does it in a way that everyone can understand; young, old it doesn't matter. He is definitely a unique artists; ans this collection of some of his greatest songs proves that without a shadow of a doubt.
The collection starts off with the weird ode to self refextion: 'Dang Me', which is a song tha you just can't help but sing along with. Then it moves on with sort of the same format through the rest of the CD, up untill: 'Engine Engine #9' and 'Husbands and Wives'; the 2 songs on the CD that doesn't talk nonsense. My personal favorite track; if I may say is, 'England Swings'; an ode to the 'Swinging 60's Scene' in England.

I love this CD, because I love Roger Miller's songwriting. He has a way of writing something that may not have any meaning when you listen to it for the first time, but after a few times listing threw, you fall in live with it
