King of the Road: The Genius of Roger Miller is a compilation of 70 songs in chronological order from the original master recordings, drawn from every label (Mercury/Starday, Decca, RCA, Smash, Columbia and MCA) for which Nashville legend Roger Miller recorded. Between the 25 chart hits are eight unreleased recordings, all documented by a booklet containing an 8,000-word essay and 24 rare photos. It includes the Top 10 hits "When Two Worlds Collide", "Dang Me", "Chug-A-Lug", "King of the Road", "Engine Engine #9", "One Dyin' & A-Buryin'", "Kansas City Star", "England Swings", "Husbands & Wives", and more, plus two songs from the Tony Award winning Broadway Musical Big River.
