Free Music Review: Roger Millers' Best
Hit: 5 Stars
"Big River" is, I think, one of the greatest things done by the late Roger Miller.
It is a masterpiece. I hope you also get to see it performed some day! I did and it was beautiful theatre.
John Goodman and Rene Auberjenois and all the other actors round out a superb cast.
Buy it. Enjoy it.

This unjustly forgotten masterpiece was in many ways the last great creative gasp for the late, great country songwriter-singer Roger Miller, who died in 1992. After he wrote countless country gems like "Invitation to the Blues," "King of the Road," and "Dang Me" during the 1950s and '60s, Miller's creative muse ran dry in the early 1970s. The drought continued until he made a remarkable comeback by penning the 20-song score and contributing vocals to the soundtrack of this 1985 Broadway adaptation of Mark Twain's literary classic. Big River still stands as a dazzling, heartwarming slice of musical Americana and the final crowning achievement in one of country music's most celebrated careers. --Bob Allen
