Free Music Review: fantastic music and lyrics
Hit: 4 Stars
I saw a production of Big River at a local theatre and absolutely loved it! I remember a couple of songs from when it first came out and that Roger Miller had penned the songs, but didn't think much about until I saw the play.
The next day I purchased the cd and it has become one of my favorites. The ballad songs are so well thought out and not overly sentimental. The melodies are great.
The actor/singers were phenomenal. I can't believe it took me this long to discover this little gem.
Some of the songs were a little corny and colloquial, but I pass them by and listen to the good stuff.
l would recommend it to a select audience of people who like broadway musicals, or just if they are interested in some good melodies and lyrics.
Big River: The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn (1985 Original Broadway Cast) Poster
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 AllenCountry Music CDs
